Description

Greetings GFX artist's
This piece is a collection of art-forms. I purchased individually silk flowers and made my first-ever arrangement. The goal was for the arrangement to appear as cut flowers in a vase. Then I did a shooting session 'study' with the arrangement setup in muted lighting. This particular shot cuts out the top of the arrangement and the bottom of the vase; the flash fired for this one.
I wanted some finished work from all this just for the FUN of it-- so I began with minor adjustments of levels in photoshopCS3 and then used some filters in PSP 7.04. Time- a few-four hours there-a-bout.
Hope you enjoy and thnx for viewing!!

Nice, you started with flowers and ended up with a funny redhead cartoon.

You are good with these photo manip works, you should post more often.

I like the colours and the ink look image but I hate that Waterdroplet effect, it's too obviousl created by filter. Might I suggest if this is the idea you're after, take a look at this tutorial by Greg Vander Houwen:

hi Raphael, it was not my intention to hide the fact that this final output was created by filters, as that is stated in my description. I have worked on creating my own water drops--and will view the tut you mention--but the main emphasis on this one was FUN. I like this work so much that I invite anyone who has any crits to please crit away!=) all ideas of ways to make this better is like stumbling on a pot of gold....thnx much for your feedback, Raphael!

Oh this is very nice. It unique, capturing. the colours are very attractive and because there is no intended focus point i think one focuses more on the whole image rather than the core. Which is something one rarely sees.

Excellent stuff, personally i wish i had more points to give to you.

Great picture! Awesome technique and colors... it makes me curious on how you did it =) It looks so much like a painting.

beautiful colors . nice design.

Nice colors.
I don't like distracting drops on image.

I really like the colors. It looks expressionistic.
But the water droplets look really awful and cheap in front! I know other people have said this, but they really do! On the part of the image where there is color its nice though so I would suggest leaving them only on the parts of the image with color! In other words take them off the white background so they are not so distracting and ugly!
~just an idea!

I anticipated that people might be polarized on this piece.... so I do not doubt the comments from those of you who really do not like the water drops! nor am I brushing off your feedback
Zazill, interestingly your observation--tho I could not have put it in words--is my own take on this, "because there is no intended focus point i think one focuses more on the whole image rather than the core" thnx for your kind comments
Maidith, thnx for the c's and your support
jha, thnx as well
Zaclab & vikinggirl, your feedback is just as valued. finding a way to make the waterdrops work better is a sweet crit and with the tut of Raphael to pursue and vikinggirl your interesting suggestion I cannot say thnx enuf!!

It does look like you had lots of fun.
Nice work.

Hey Phos, sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you were trying to hide that it was created with filters, I was just saying that my personal taste in these things makes me not like the drops because they look like a filter. I'm more a natural effect kinda guy

Phos

10/08/07 @681

no offense at all Raphael!!...just wanted to clarify that for everyone as sometimes folks don't read the description

mamoun, thnx for your c's
cupcake, thnx as well
thnx again everyone!

Love the colors and the gooey mess which has been created. Water drops are too uniform and too many. Would like to see it without the drops, maybe on a textured canvas of sorts.

Interesting work! The colours on the lower half of the picture are really cool.
I think it's the blue 'puddle' around the vase area creates a kind of calm area that contrast well with the busy areas of the picture.
I won't mention the filters

Haha.
