Here is another shot from the tulip fields last month. I have added some artistic effect to give it a variety from the usual images shot there. Any thoughts?
Geoff - I am still on PSCS, not yet version 2. The main artistic filter I used in this image is a plug in buZZ filter, many changes in selective color to soften the tones, some painting of white on a new layer and adjusting opacity to give additional fog effect, and more playing around. I guess I should write down all my steps on some of these images to give more detail on how I arrive at the final image.
Marc - Yes, much quick than painting.
Mark - Above is the original cropped to a square, after minor processing yet before any artistic effect were added or crop to pano. I would have to go to my archives to find the orginal image before processing.
Erik - The version above has more color no fogging effect, which shows a great deal more contrast. The first version above is printed on watercolor, so the softer tones works best.
Nancy - Some of the other fields have other colors. This one actually had a few pink in the foreground as well. I just cropped down to a pano to isolate the best colors for a wall in my home.

10 repliesBTW, was this done completely in PSCS2? If so, what filters did you use on it?
From a scene like this of the tulip fields, I think a little more contrast or saturation would do it a little more justice. IMHO.
