Rain, rain and more rain...it's so dull, wet and oppressive that it's hard to get out to explore. These daisies were safely sheltered under an overhang at our gym. The sunny yellow (I do have a vague memory of the sun...) was very attractive to my rain-weary eyes. I used a combination of Posterize, Accented Edges and Poster Edges to play up the yellow and the textures of the petals and centers.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Love those combined effects - looks like a pencil drawing!!
ReplyDeleteNice! Hopefully you'll be out of the rain soon!
ReplyDeleteInteresting effect!
ReplyDeleteThe effects add great deal of interest to the photo.
ReplyDeleteIt does have an effect rather like colored pencils. Nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in their own right, but also very neat with the processing. It gives it a nice appearance of being sketched.
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers! Bright and cheerful!
