Daffodils are my favorite flower (well, them and Lily-of-the-valley); and we wait for them for SO long here in New England...so I couldn't resist one more photo. This was taken in our yard, where they have burst into exuberant bloom. I really didn't think that the original needed anything, but for the sake of the project, I played around with filters anyway. I like the Sumi-E played up the color and luminescence of the flower. 
I also like it against the black background in the edited version - really makes the colors almost have a glow to them! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteBoth pictures are great. I am partial to the one without the filter.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous! I'm like Clara, I like the original best but both are very nice!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the one with the black background. I think it shows off the flower best, however both are great.
ReplyDeleteThe one without the background is spectacular. They are both nice, but the top one looks like an art poster!
ReplyDeleteI hate to say ditto (of course, I want to be original :), but I agree with Clara.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower too, (this week anyway) the filtered version does seem to glow out of the background, lovely ...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture of this gorgeous spring flower. What did do to put it on the black background? That's stunning.
ReplyDeleteFor the black background, I just used the Burn tool at a high opacity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbie. I'll try that again. I've never had much luck doing that. Maybe this time it will work!!
