There's a band of these phragmites near my gym. It was tough to find the right filter for it. At first, I wanted something that would bring out the detail in the head of the weed. In the end, the Cut Out filter worked better by emphasizing the color and airiness of the plant instead.

  1. I love both photos, but the filtered one truly looks like a painting. Very nice.

  2. Again, a great photo to start out with, but I do like the "artsy" version better!

  3. I like the effect of the filter on this photo. It brings out the details.

  4. I bet I've taken a hundred photos of those and I always end up not liking my results. Yours is so pretty! I love both versions, but the filter really does add some interesting effects.
