About the Image(s)
Photoshop & Topaz. Colour vibrancy lift. Removal of noise spots and grains.
Some contouring using texture, clarity and contrast. Lens blur background darkened and further blur softened.
Taken in the rose garden at my local town square. Lot of rose varieties, traditional and hybrid varieties. It was getting late in the season so some post needed to take a few weathering effects. Not happy with the blow out at the edge of some leaves however other similar captures without that were not as sharp on the detail….my trade off!

Hi Alison: A very dramatic portrait of a single Rose flower and razor sharp in detail with vivid lighting. Aside of the strong colors this rose flower has textured petals which many roses lack and I think this adds a degree of interest. You have darkened the background down somewhat which makes the flower stand out well. Then as a finishing touch you have added a very thin border to frame the picture. Very Good Work !!
