Glow + Repost

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted December 2, 2010168 views5 comments

Hi all,

When I began working with this Red Asian Lily in post production, I started tweaking things to see how it would look if only the water drops were illuminated. I added a layer to darken the flower and erased all the sections from that layer I wanted to show through from the original. The drops are purposely over sharpened to make them look surreal.

Thanks for viewing and all comments welcome.

Glow is right - Your title is apt! A real attention getter. The background foliage in the urc is a small distraction.

This is beautiful. I think your postprocessing is perfect for this image.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback everyone! I went back and removed the background. I've attached the update along with this post. Hopefully it looks better now.
