Marvelous flower and great manipulations... Fantastic results also.
Very creative manipulations on this sunflower, Harry... really fun to view. Nicely done.
Harry, I certainly like the colorful variations on display here.
Such a beautiful shot to start with, and a wonderful assortment of variations to boot. Great work!
as I've said before, of your variation work, I certainly HOPE the original's on top, otherwise your drought is doing some pretttttty strange things to LA! Wonderful set of variations on a big beautiful flower. This sunflower, unlike the one before this, is more in shadow, and allows us to see the silk textures and furls of the petals. It's almost a 'reflective' first shot, yet another 'personality' among your beautiful flower captures. The 1st variation is in infra-red mode, and I like the darkening and lighten-ing of the background (a pure white sky!). Powerful reds in this. The 2d variation is in underwater mode, with delicate pastel hues; and it transforms the petals into carved ice or lit glass. Very delicate work. The 3d variation is a surprise, because you've subjected the leftmost quarter of the shot to an entirely different treatment---a dayglo late 60's breakup into colonies of floating lights, etc. The rest of the shot is doused in deep red shadows, and the background has been darkened and made mysterious. I love that you combined these two different styles in the same shot. And the bottom variation is right up Van Gogh's alley---who, after all, painted some of the greatest sunflower paintings in history---with those characteristic repeated strokes pulsing across every sufrace. Sunflowers lend themselves to this kind of treatment, because of the inner-energies. A wholly festive montage, with real extremes in it; and using a beautiful original as its base.
