Dying flowers
Dec 23, 2015 10:30:08 #
I found these 3 week old flowers in my daughters room, along with a lot of other 3 week old things (water bottles, clothes, etc). My instinct is to saturate them because they are flowers (and are supposed to be colorful) but the fact that they are shriveling up and dying makes me think they should have another kind of look to them but I can't figure it out. Any ideas are appreciated.

Well, you "could" create a glowing explosion of colors .......

Bob- I assume that is Topaz Glow? It is something I don't own but would love to get.

Or perhaps a less subtle Glowing Edges tweaked in LR (reminds me of those posters you used to get in the 70s).

Just for fun, here are 2 versions. First is using McPhun> FX Photo Studio CK > Sketch. Second version is using Topaz Impression + B&W sketch Overlay from McPhun Software.

Nik Silver Efex, low key with yellow filter. A bit of glow added.

I was waiting for someone to put a real twist to this dying flowers theme. Leave it up to Billy to put his own twist to it. Congratulations on your creativity Billy. :thumbup:

I used Topaz Simplify>Cartoon by D. Pachero. Tweaked the line size and detail. Dodged and burned to create more depth.

Had to give this a whirl. (Sorry about the deliberate pun.)I call it 'The Afterlife of Dancing Dead Flowers'. :shock: GIMP. Click download for best effect.

Here is my try at your interesting image, in the manner of Gustave Klimp. I hope you like it.
