Description

For my friend Ann, who checks out my gallery here on RR. She doesn't comment, but she follows along, and has done so for many years. Some of you may remember her from my flower-shooting days. She had (and still has) a wonderful selection of plants in her garden, and it was always a delight to go over and take a hundred pictures or so of pretty flowers. A lot of the photographs in my early gallery are from her garden. So Happy Birthday, Ann! May your year be filled with beautiful flowers, easy days, and as much quiet joy as you can handle. ..... Topaz has a million filters, and I'm always finding something I hadn't seen before This is called Energy Flow by *somebody* (mind like a sieve) and I'm enjoying it very much! I found one yesterday called "Tarawa Boat in Cove." It's a terrific filter, but I bet the name makes sense only to its creator! :P

Topaz can be addictive. I wouldn't mind having these flowers in my garden. Ann has a very good friend.

A beautiful image with this cool filter and a great birthday present for Ann. It will take you a while to try all the filters. 😀

I do remember an "Ann," but it's still a little vague in my mind. But if she helped inspired that flower work a ways back, then she did a great job. This pic hits us in the face---full view---with its deep saturated hues, all separate for each flower or group of leaves; and then the topaz 'flows'---ie, the way the surfaces undulate and flow. And the background seems like a river of currents, as do parts of the foreground plants as well. A big eye popping, lush image; you both saturated and used topaz beautifully, here. And full size is a must!

(Wow, I'm only one image from commenting on everything up to the most recent image in your gallery! Do you know how rare that is for me? I'm not lurking back in the back-galleries, huffing and puffing to get to the current date! Here I go to the most recent upload...)

This really is gorgeous, Tara! It has such rich colors and a wonderful oil-painterly look to it. A lovely dedication for your friend. I may have to check out this Topaz thing - as if I don't have enough apps to turn my brain into mush...

I do have a PS action that has a similar look. This makes me want to fire it up and play a bit..

Omigosh, I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE this!! I'd love to have a BIG print and hang it on my wall. The colors and the depth are fabulous, we might have to have a Topaz tutorial one of these days!!
