    Default Magnolia with a Twist

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    The original of this image is one of the Magnolia flowers on our front yard tree. For this image I removed the BG and adding a black BG layer. I gave it a few copy layers, and a twist and slight offset for each. A total of four image layers were used, as can be noted on the top of the image. In addition, modification in CS4 included; Curves, Accent Edges, Hue &Saturation and other normal PS image adjustments.

    The original image, unadjusted, is shown in the second frame.

    Enjoy!

    Mark, the twist really changed the look - I like the lighting in the OP and the curves create a lot of different things to look at. Nicely done

    This really does look delicious! Those swirls are graceful and the pearly shades of cream are lovely.

    You know Paul, that if you mention treats you have to get some for all of us. None of this eating in front of friends!!!
