I liquified my rose

I have been using Photoshop's Liquify filter a lot in my flower photography, to improve the shape of the flowers or make them fill out the frame better. This is an example with a rose, before and after. Also some burning and dodging and removing the stem in the background.

That would be really striking enlarged and framed. Nice!

It's a good reminder that microdetail isn't everything.

You did a fine job with this technique. I didn't see any undue distortion that can get out of hand using this tool. I need to see how you do in reverse then send you my picture. I need to lose about 40 pounds.😁

ln my previous life as a studio photographer, I often used Liquify to make people who complained about being too heavy a little thinner.

I thought this Liquify was new to you. Now I understand why this rose has been done so well with delicate precision.

It just occurred to me not long ago to use it on flowers. If I get a composition which isn't quite in balance I could fix that.
