Description

Something different for me. Took my posting, "Yellow Roses", and added a blue gradient filter...plus a little bit of additional digifiddling:-) Here's the original Yellow Roses Hope you like this...it sort of grew on me after looking at it for a little. Bill

Oh my. This is absolutely stunning, Bill. It looks like you used a shoebox filter, and it works REALLY well with this image, especially combined with the blue. Wow. You have a fabulous eye - more of this sort of thing from you would be a treat!

It's not without it's charms, but I find it a bit depressing!!! I think it may remind me of funerals!

This works fir me because of the delicate shadings amid the high-contrast roses. Did you try other hues?

well as a part-time digital painter, I'm with you 1000%. Filters are easy, but art is hard, and the key with filters is to use them for art not simply 'effects', using them as you would the lens or as a painter would the brush...This is artistic filtering, you really got an essence with it, rather than added an effect. Andrea's response is gut honest, because she's picking up some of the dark mystery of your transformation. And you did a sensitive job with lighting, because you allowed the lower half to be swallowed in the blues (ie, you didn't rush to correct it or make it more defined, etc)—it made the flowers appear as if they're arising out of a great blue abyss. Beautiful work, and a fav for both rose shots.

Mmmmmmmm. I have looked at it for nearly 5 minutes now and I'm afraid it didn't grow! Sorry mate.... But you know me! Ha! Love the original though. Wish I'd have taken it.... Rob.

Oh I agree with what's being said, I think the results are quite pleasing and that's important!

Very interesting effect you have achieved here, Bill. I like the way it fades as it goes down, and the rose buds show so prominently.

Just like a C41 negative, I like it, blue being my fave colour helps :)

Black flowers in a blue world feels abstract and surreal to me. A piece of paper this is printed on, is curled from wetness, and floats on a river after a flood.
