| | | Clematis Found a little time to try the camera again, so thought i would post these and see if any one was interested, must admit getting fed up of taking photo's of flowers and cats so must go out next week and see what else i can find ( weather permitting) |

| | I'm not sure if this type of thing is considered photo-art and I apologize if I have misunderstood the concept.
I'm graduating this weekend and saw your very pretty flowers and immediately thought that I would love to have one to wear in my hair (being that you're across the pond I think this would be impossible :P) so I trotted out the ole photoshop to play...
After using masks to composite the flower into a pic of me, I added a shadow, and spent a ton of time trying to make it look realistic. Then I decided to play with various filters/art-history brush (totally making all the time I spent on realism unnecessary, d'oh) and came up with this. Thanks for sharing the great photo.  |

| | | Steve might not be "new and inventive" but very nice
Oltenius weird (please don't be offended ) but attractive
irshgrlkc seems like photo art to me and very inventive ( what we like) and yes i could see it being worn in the hair but your umbrella would get in the way here ! ! ! ! ! !

| | I agaree with Swampy. I'm supposed to be working and not sitting here with a gorgeous flower and a virtual paintbrush.
I'm enjoying the work done on this thread. It gives me lots of ideas.

| | Hi Palms....Lovely photos...new camera is looking good!!! Are your clematis early??? I have a dark blue one but it doesnt flower till August!!!
Palms,Steve,Swampy and Janet...lovely, all the different renditions...
Irshgrlkc...Unusual use of Palms photo....good idea...I like it!
Oltenius....Yours is also unusual but I also like it...Its fun to try different ways with your art!!! The second one I like too!!
I did mine in Photoshop CS2 with the art history brush ( getting to grips with it a bit more now) I then put Flaming Pears Aetherize plugin on it..to change the look a little!!!
Thanks for the pic Palms...
