Daylily + original

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted December 19, 2011325 views5 comments

I found this image from this past spring and used Topaz and Nik to process it. This might be too strange a crop for most people, but it's only cropped from the right. Apparently this is the way I shot it.

So your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Barbara, the tight crop doesn't bother me at all. It's such a pretty lily with the pinks and yellows that I'd like to see what the straight image looks like. The sweep of the stamen and pistils is very nice.

Yep, the original is very nice as well. It's a very gentle image that shows of the subtle beauty of the flower. I find it amazing how much the very modest crop you did on the original post adds to the sweeping feel of the stamen & pistil

I like the effect Barbara. It has brightened it up and introduced a painterly feel.
Crop's fine, hey it's a closeup

Well done & Happy Holidays
