May 8 2004:
Gerbera

Bought a Gerbera today; it was going cheap!



PS work:
I neutralised the background with the help of the Magic Wand tool and a spot of cloning. Then extensive work using Levels, Saturation, Hue and Contrast.

Ray, I love this too. A very simple image, the toning, etc, is well done too. Perhaps you may also like my (very modest) flower shots here : www.pbase.com/jim_c .

Very nice. I like how the flower is desaturated letting youconcentrate of the form rather than the colour.
Guest 09-May-2004 01:45

Floaty, trippy flower! Love the choice of finish, not something I would have thought of!

First of all, this is a fantastic image, Ray! Beautiful monochrome .. I love Gerber Daisies. There form is sweet and delicate, yet detailed.

Secondly, Um.. Pete? You made me choke on my diet coke. VERY funny
