One of my favorite movies is "Rose Red", I think I have seen it 20 or more times.
The challenge on a graphics list was a photo of a red rose, Everyone had to create
an image with the photo.
This is my entry for the work.
Selected the rose outline and filtered the background in Impressionist "natural particle board".
then textured the rose with a copy of itself and glanced a light off the rose for depth....
added a glass globe and stretched to a drop and highlighted and shaded to look wet.
