My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

Call me old fashioned, but I really like the sepia one and then the large green one much better than the others! A beautiful image!

Very impressive clear detail to the Poppy bud and stem, I think you have had some fun creating the collage with different effects. I like them all, can't make my mind up and I certainly do not hate any! Real nice work Tara.

Excellent and I'll give my vote for the largest of the images. :-)

lovely work

I'd like to see the sepia one larger. It sure is a hairy looking pod lol. I also like the large color one. So.. I can't make up my mind lol..

I love the way poppy buds look. You have captured it wonderfully. I like all your versions, but I'd have to say my favorite is the large one.
vaggabondd
I have seen this before, clones come out of the pods and kill everyone hahaha. Very nice work again my friend :)

Love poppies! Great capture!

I had to spend some time on this one to decide my favorite because I like them all. After a lengthy debate with myself I have decided I like the top right one the best. My least favorite is the b/w simply because I'm not a big fan of b/w pictures. I figure the world is full of joyful color so why take the color out and make the world appear bland in b/w. That is just my opinion, and I differ with my son and husband on that one.

Excellent collage, fantastic details and beautiful light, my friend

1 Fav is the original, followed by the B/W. All are great though.........but since the first shot is superb, I am not sure why you'd want to play with it anyway. Just for the fun of playing?

Hang your head low, Mister Poppy, hang your head low. Terrific colors, clarity and detail depicted in this fine collage of soon-to-be poppies, Tara! Love the whiskers on the buds. I'm sitting here staring at the photos, which was originally just one and then subsequently postworked to different degrees, and just can't decide which of the shots to love and which to hate. Decisions, decisions. A difficult challenge you have presented us with, my friend.

Really nice series.

No way do I hate any of them, but I think I like the one on the upper right the best. They're all just great!!

Sorry Tare, but I love them all, so I cant choose between them. WOnderful collage, my friend :)))

The original first then top right, then Sepia, then bottom right last the B&W. They all have differing attributes, like everyone else there isn't one I dislike. Excellent capture, it does remind one of the body snatchers a bit but there pods were much longer. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
