PS Flower

AIRIC · Jan 23, 2005

I have been stuck in the house with a cold so I started playing with this image in PS. Not sure if I really like it or not. Interested in hearing your impression of the image.

Thanks,

Eric

MMMMmmm Daylilies are very yummy! They are definitly the best tasting edible flower out there that I have tried. You did a nice job of changing the background and keeping everything clean. I'm sure others will have other critiques but my first thought was that I wish the pic was taken earlier in the day before the flower started to die.

It looks like it should be on stationary, Great job!

btw where is brooklin, On?

I dont know if my opinion is important to you but since this is critical thread I will say. The flower is amazing :thumbup: but the background I dont like, its not real, and its not good for this flower. But the flower is Amazing :thumbup:

There is a limit to the amount of photoshopping you can do in photography without it becomign abstract or gimmicky- The flower and the background colors are vibrant, and could be even better if instead of a filtered background it was simply blurred as if it was out of focus. It looks like you pixelated the backgroudn a bit.

I used a smart blur on the whole photo but it is more evident on the background. I was not sure if I really liked it that is why I asked for feedback. The photo is very strong by itself but I thought I would play with it a bit, nothing else better to do.

Brooklin, ON is north east of Toronto on Hwy 7 north of Whitby and Oshawa.

Going to have to go the same route as replic. I wish the background was a little less abstract.
