About Not for the weak of heart, nor the photo purist, I know. But it was just TIME to do something DIFFERENT!
Now it will be out of my system for awhile! :) :)

Love the effect..magnificent!


Don Loseke   {K:32500} 7/6/2004
I like it. We all have to do something different once in a while. This has worked out very well. Don.

out of your system for a while?
why?
your image shows two flowers,and proves that you can cope with both the 'pure' and the 'different' one at the same time ;-)
bye

Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
Hey THANKS Kostas!!
Never thought of that! :) :)


Ernie Fell   {K:20} 7/6/2004
I'm a beginner, this is very nice, how do you do something like this. Different is good.


Carmem A. Busko   {K:48763} 7/6/2004
Just lovely... to my desktop, now!

Martin Mora   {K:4372} 7/6/2004
I like what your doing, going into new territory, brings out natures colors, more than mother nature does :) well done


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
Hi Ernie,
Thanks, glad you like this.
If you have PHotoshop, Email me at
Lorispix@aol.com
and I can try to explain, it's really easy, hopefully I remember it all......I did a lot of 'playing around' with this!
Lori :)


jon parsons   {K:13630} 7/6/2004
Dear Lori, beautiful work of art my friend! i love the way you superimposed one over the other!! absolutely marvelous....jon


Linn Currie   {K:24426} 7/6/2004
Gosh Lori - this is great. I am going to go as far as to say one of your best abstracts ever? Not because it is pink (which counts a lot!) but I like the natural and abstract mixed together.

You could do this anytime again :-) I would hate to see this out of your system :-))

Linn that still has the itch for more filtering :-)


Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 7/6/2004
Hi Lori - why not! Not really my style but that doesn't mean i dont like it or appreciate it. It's good to push your own limits now and again, and the main thing of course as long as it's still counts as a hobby is to have fun - which it looks like you are doing.
Best wishes - you friend Neil


Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47535} 7/6/2004
Very different yes, but appears artistic water colour lovely work, very well presented, superb, Saeed


Riny  Koopman   {K:19998} 7/6/2004
Hi lori,
Excellent abstract.
I love the beautiful colors in this composition
Regards frome Holland


arwa abdullah   {K:34425} 7/6/2004
Wonderful use of framing and filters the flower itself with its different colors looks like two flowers inside of each other that?s why the frame works here

could u show us the original plz looks like a good image :)


Abeer Al Jarsh   {K:10209} 7/6/2004
excellent and creative shot
well done



Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/6/2004
My, is that different!
Really smacks you in the face, walks away, then comes back and hits you again! :>)
Having said that, I like it! But, then, I'm hardly what you call a purist!! :>)
Kind regards, Chris


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
HI ARWA,
this is as close to the original as possible, I tried many things on this image, didn't save the original. this one most likely has a bit of levels and sharpening. :)

I actually wanted not to use filters, but didn't like the original, but I loved the FLOWER, hence the abstract!!



Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
Chris, I had to laugh outloud when I read your comment, brightened my morning! :)


B:)liana    {K:30945} 7/6/2004
Very beautiful colors dear Lori. love it
Kisses, Biliana


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/6/2004
Hmmm. Not for me, then? Don't think so; the PS effects are too much for my photopurist heart and the subject? Ouch.

There are two things I do atmire, though. First is that you don't let me influence you (very wise descision!) and secondly is the creativity you display in coming up with a different feel to your work every time. I absolutely admire the way you experiment, Lori! I find the last thing especially commendable. (Hope this is the right phrasing, as I'm being very serious here, but I don't want to soud corny or insincere...)

Form an artistic / design point of view, I think a debossing of the inserted frame, placing the lighter edges near the lower left corner would've levelled the lighting a tad better. Do you see what I mean? The inner rectangle, with the filtered flower is embossed in the composition, making the light strike the top and right edge. A debossing, however, would've made the light strike the left and lower edge, where the flower is the darkest.

Cheers,

Hugo

Looking at the original, I must say that you?ve done a GREAT job here, Lori ... a very artistic and beautiful result!!!


ARMANDO ALCÁZAR   {K:42656} 7/6/2004
Lori: super good pic and work i liked. congrats


Stephen Bowden   {K:64516} 7/6/2004
Beautiful photo Lori


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
Thank you very much, Hugo! I appreciate what you have shared!

On the viewpoint, perhaps (that's ONLY perhaps...)what you've described would be good. Had I thought about this ahead of time, which I didn't. You would not believe how many times I changed the whole thing around. And this final one, happened so quickly. By this point I was just glad to be done with it. LOL
However, yes, you've made some good points, and I'll remember them on my next creation!!!

Lori :)

Hope you're having a GR8 day!


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/6/2004
Hi Linn,
LOL...not to worry, it won't leave my system permanently! (not a chance of that)

So glad you liked it!
Lori :)


Enjoy    {K:16125} 7/7/2004
I like the effect it looks a bit off balance but I like the effect and of course the color is great as well....always fun to see what you will create...
