Thanks for the play Palms!

Reminded me of this

[Nasturtium]

experimenting with the cutout filter for simplification. Thanks for the play!

Had fun with these! Thanks again Palms!

Heres my take on the others

[geepee52]

Tried the rose this time Palms.

Thanks
Grant

Pretty, all of them!
Grant, I loved what you did with the lilies. How did you get the texture like that?
OB and Grant, loved the roses.

Wasn't really happy with my end result. Should have added another lily to the left of the main one for better balance. Oh well... too late and too tired tonight. Sure was fun though.

Palms, thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks Becky. To get the texture put a blank layer on top of the background layer.Then clouds,glowing edges, emboss and then invert all on the same layer and set the blending mode to overlay and adjust opacity to your liking somewhere between 60-80% I generally use.Hope you can follow this.

[Nasturtium]

Grant- that's a really cool way to get some nice texture into a photo

I used Grant's idea and then just kept running some of my actions and gave it a border

Oh dear I'm late for the show again.

Ol Baldy great version and funny video clip

Nasturtium that has worked well for simplification

And more good versions ol baldy but the daisy is my fav

Grant the black background, and glow work really well, sets the rose of great

Becky i like it as it is very nice

and another good one Nasturtium quite funky

Peter i will let your lateness off, (again) bold and beautiful

I love the old fashioned roses, too. The scent is so much more powerful than my tea roses. Unfortunately they are magnets for Japanese Beetles here. Before they even emerge from the bud, they are riddled with holes. Thanks for the link. David Austin roses are beautiful.

Still trying to fake Fractilus with G'MIC and Xero's Softmood filters.

[Peter S]

Lyle your getting close

Another Fractilus attempt. Also, used that result to create the fired rose (see link below; too big for forum and didn't want to loose quality).

Nice ones Lyle, the fractalius look is coming along well and the fire effect is cool

[lkroll]

Don't believe I played with the lily yet.

edit: Arghh; I actually did but the edit didn't look like the original for me to realize. lol

[Kraellin]

Some lovely work here folks! On any of the photo-art threads I can usually narrow them down to 1 or 2 that really stand out for me. Not on this thread.

[Crapaud]

Had to play with my new toy - Fotosketcher - and some monkeying around in PS.

[lkroll]

lol

Went PostworkShop Pro Dramatic Chalk and applied some textured paper to it. Click below for complete rendition.
