It's about time my RP friends from the Northern Hemisphere started to feel a little warmth and a spring in the step whilst I'm digging for sweaters and slippers!!! Thanks for the wee flower Janet. Wonderful posts on this everyone!!!

Nice renditions all. Thanks janet for such an interesting flower.

This version wasn't exactly what I meant to do, got sort of detoured(*).
Well, that's why this is so much fun.


(*) Luminosity, equalize, blend-if, render clouds, masking and a couple of layers of edges!

Whatever you did Ro, it worked well. The hardest part for me was the background. You handled it well and managed to keep the contrast of the background and the luminosity of the flower to a maximum.

Kudos.

Janet

Very beautiful, Neve & ByRo. This little flower is one of my favorite threads in the whole forum. I'm not totally happy with this one. I was trying for a chalk effect, but I left the texture too strong in the brushes. Oh well. Live and (hopefully) learn.

You can see you were certainly trying for it Raniday. I've not done much chalk effects to any great satisfaction myself. Keep up the good work though, practice makes perfection.

My turn to play with the flower. Inspired by Fluffbutt's "Try this" layer composite idea.

BG. Resized to 150%.
A: Copy BG. Impressionist-Crayon:Short/Choppy mod. DryBrush. (A nice 1-2 combination.) Normal 100%. Added a layer mask to restore most of the stamens.
B: Copy BG. Texturize (canvas). Softlight. 100%
C: Copy BG. AddNoise. ColorPencil. Overlay. 60%. Layermask to protect the lighter areas on the right side of the image.
D: Cloning layer to clean up a few distraction bright & dark areas.
E: Level Adj.

Fun stuff. Thanks Janet & Fluff!

-Mark
