Rose Light
Posted by bronzebilly u.k. (Barry,Vale of Glamorgan, United Kingdom) on 24 August 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
This image is an introduction to a series of rose images,over the next week or so--most of the images get the "billy treatment" and some are quite normal--look out for everybody's favourite flower in another aspect--billy

A beautiful piece of art BillyB, I love the lighting on the rose, brings out the textures and the colours wonderfully.
I am looking forward to more of your amazing work :)

Hey Billy, this is beautiful. You're on a roll over there in good old Wales; you're producing some mighty fine images. Like today.

Beautiful photo Billy! I like how you fuse the picture of the leave to make a frame and the mix of colour with b&w.

Oh Billy! The light and color and procesaing is sooo... beautiful! I think you've excelled yourself with this one! I like the leaf frame - the colour is just fantastic - even the bit of black and white. I used to use more than photoshop to produce "scrapbook" images but with .png images for printing - but I had to quit because it took all my time to make a scrapbook album for somebody. There is such a lot of work in putting all of these elements together. I used to use Photo Impact 8 because it had a lot more built in effects than I have in PS7. When you get some time to spare (if ever) would you be kind enough to post a "how to" for something like this, or some of your other effects, on the aminus3members forum. I'm sure a lot of members would have a great time practising. I can open up another category if your are not using PS for it. Thanks. Anne

@tyan: hey tyan--your right-flowers are beautiful--it's probably because they've got a short life that we appreciate them so much--families hopefully last a lot longer and we've got more time for them-does that make sense??--billy
