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

Gorgeous image; the composition stands out with the color desaturated like this. Excellent playing!

LMAO--and I thought you'd done just the opposite--but well, this IS beautiful; just might try it one of these days!!

Thats why PS has so many bells and whistles to experiment with filters and colour correction is half the fun, well I think so. Excellent work Tara, I think I would prefer more colour myself but then it would not be Old Fashioned but something entirely different. Hats of to you my dear for doing it your way. Bravo!!!!!

Sometimes we just gotta tear up the rule book to champion the cause of postworking, it's just like critique, one person will say "I would have used a flash to brighten the shadows", where another would say "Nice study of light and shadow" LOL!, keep playing sweetie you did a great job on this :)

Very exciting! I'd have to print it off now and start doodling with some real pens and stuff, that's how old fashioned I am!

It is really gorgeus and I think it is such fun to play with a photo. The result here is very lovely.

I really do like the colour desaturation in this Tara, it creates a dreamy and distant feel to the image. Very lovely work!!

I really like the way the edges of the roses turned out.

They look soooooo lovely...the desaturation does make them look old timey

Beautiful rose and fantastic photo.

Great work..but think I still am more of a purist...bring on the original...:)

Fantastic work...it reminds me of the sort of faded pink you'd get in really old wallpaper, usually from the bedroom of a woman born in oh, say...1919. I love the desaturation and the aged look that this has. In some ways it makes me think of something from the Victorian era. I love it. The other thing, the colors, the textures, the whole thing makes me think that this would smell like softly scented powder rather than a flower...OR like the petals of a rose, pressed in between the pages of an exceptionally old book. I love that subjective effect.

Awesome Shot!!

I like the antique look you got with the postwork. I can hear Marilyn! LOL The postwork added a lot of depth as well.

I think Ronnie sums it up Tara, we all have our thoughts on what works and nothing wrong with bending a rule or two. Bravo!
