Description
For Andrea's birthday I have chosen a true wild rose native to the area in which I live. Rosa nutkana is native to the coastal areas of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. I took this picture ten or so years ago, while on a delightful outing with Denise and Marilyn.
Because I know Andrea likes more information, here is a link to the R. nutkana Wiki
The postwork was done using a couple of Andrea's favorite Topaz filters.
The rose itself was done with Flower Power (with modified settings), and the background also has a layer (also slightly modified) of Mex Bike atop the Flower Power. Layer masks and adjustments in Photoshop.
And besides ... it's pretty! :)
I hope you have a lovely day and a happy, creative, and drama-free year, Andrea. You have inspired me for more than ten years, and I look forward to many more years of mutual learning and enjoyment.
Happy Birthday, Andrea!

Nice piece of work Tara and a fine dedi my friend
Thankyou for this wonderful birthday present, Tara !
The info is most interesting too, and the plant is very similar to our Rosa rugosa, see Here
There is something very satisfying about these filters, and in your hands they combine to delight !
a delightful and fun gift for Andrea
I like what you did with this.
This is spectacular. More, please.
This is so lovely, Tara! As usual, you've taken an already lovely subject and lifted it to the next level. A lovely dedication for Andrea!
Happy Birthday, Andrea!
You and Andrea and Helle sure know how to use these filters. You, for one, are so passionate with them---this thing undulates and sings operatically, I love the swirls in the background, and the almost life-like swirls in the flower (great light and shade in a wholly filtered flower). The stamens look like a flame! The stem breaks through the greens like it has to cut its way through a sensual mire. This is gorgeous postwork, and perfect for Andrea, who gives us flower after flower, all with great beauty. Happy birthday, Andrea, and many more!!! And terrific dedi, Tara!
Superb capture and birthday dedication Tara. God bless.
Absolutely delightful this (assuming) dogrose. I dont have this topaz filter, but I find it very delicious. Excellent dedi for our Andrea :)
