WC#470 Rose Petal Art?

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted February 13, 201143 views7 comments

I know it's not art, but at least it's unique. I know it has never been photographed before, because I made it just three days ago with a couple of roses from a bouquet.

And, after all, it is Valentine's Day tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Cute! I had to double check this weeks theme cause i wasnt sure whether we had re-run the Valentines Day theme that we often do this time of year. Anyhow, I think you could probably sell this as a card if you could tame the reds a bit. Nice entry!

Thanks for the quick feedback. I boosted the reds some just to dramatize the result, so they could easily be softened.

Since I am new as of summer 2010, I did not think to check back to earlier themes, but It's nice that a little fun is acceptable.

Thanks for the fun, Dave! The brightness could perhaps be toned down just a tad, but it's a lovely creative work.

Very enjoyable post Dave.
Leesburg used to be a bit of a stomping ground for me a few years back. Very lovely country and I must admit I have been known to have a few at Paynes biker bar-- excuse me " biker cafe."

Well, Dan, it's now called the Downtown Saloon, but bikes line the street as we drive past after church on Sunday. We are long retired but went there a few years ago and were treated just like we were real people, i.e.bikers.

This is fun and interesting. I have a feeling that some of the magic will go away if you mess with it too much. Still, I would like a little more space on the bottom. Graphically, something unusual is happening here.
