Description

Sitting watching the boats go by, my attention was diverted by wild rose hips. I took a few shots, framing them each differently, experimenting with composition. In the end, I took two images and photomerged them in CS3 ... a sort of top-left-bottom-right bit of business ... in order to get exactly what I wanted. QUITE a satisfying bit of postwork!

Cant't see the join! Amazing! And I got a brill idea for a doodle the instant I read the ebot.. Prickly hips could be a great birth control feature, for humans at least.

Fine bit of merging two images into one! The DOF works so well here that there is a 3D look to this...if you take a few moments to stare:) Nice job.

Getting caught up a little bit on comments while waiting at Tampa Airport... Beautiful shot, Tara, and excellent postwork! I'm not going to try and swallow that thing, though! LOL!

I once worked with a woman who declared that she had prickly hips...actually she said they were spiky hips (like thistle burrs.) Apparently--in her telling--muffins stuck to them, especially blueberry muffins with too much butter. As for this photo, it's quite stunning! I love the way the colors and the light simply pop and sizzle and jump around on my screen, despite this being a static picture. It's lively and engaging! I love it!
