About the Image(s)

Shot on a tripod with an Olympus E-M1 Mark II, 1/5 sec at f/ 14, ISO 800, 60 macro lens. I did not know Topaz Glow could do a transformation like this.

Pretty colors. Yes. Topaz can do some amazing things.
I'd love to see the flower as it was when you took it, but you know I'm a flower person ! I like the two larger blooms.
Interesting image !   Posted: 07/11/2024 17:15:27

Unusual and almost abstract effect Doug. I knew it was a flower but wouldn't have known hydrangea unless you had told me.
It would be great to see a series of different flowers all treated with the same editing but perhaps in different colours.   Posted: 07/12/2024 06:15:36

Wow, interesting image using topaz. It looks nothing like the original image.   Posted: 07/19/2024 19:49:22

Topaz can create some amazing effects! The flower colors here have an electric intensity. You might try cropping in towards the 2 large blossoms at center to produce a stronger center of interest.   Posted: 07/23/2024 22:35:26
