Monochorome #7

San Diego, CA

I have never been very good at following rules. Perhaps this one should be called a touch of color. Fun to work though.

I also need to admit that I snuck the Del Mar beach background in behind the flowers taken in RB. Oh yes, the sky is from Coronado.

Very creative ...love the concept, however I might have chosen a smaller flower bud, deeper into the image, to 'colour'...just a thought. Really do like the blue water, nice a subtle and really adds to the image. - Racine

Creative and surreal image, I agree with Alister about the yellow flower.

I agree with some of the other posters... the flower is a bit much but I love the selcetive blue for the sea in the background. I'd be curious to see full colour version as well!

I'm not at all keen on the coloured flower but I love the blue sea in behind :-)

What a mixture! The daisies are lovely.

Gorgeous in tones and composition!

so what is real then?

Laugh at Petesie. I like this. It makes me feel warm. And, I would like to make a flower arrangement with those flowers.

Creative and wonderful.....now go stand in the corner!

Fay Stout		13-Jan-2010 01:41

Interesting and very nice work.

Quite surreal all-in-all :)

Well the rules are self-imposed I guess... Nicely thrown together composite you have here... The yellow flower just doesn't work for me though.. I love the line of blue water on the monochrome beach...

What a result, so delicate and beautiful.

laine		12-Jan-2010 21:24
You do such a great job for a sneaky chap ;))

Matylda Lempel-Chareza Photography		12-Jan-2010 21:21
very nice work

Great PP work!

virginiacoastline		12-Jan-2010 20:44
rules, schmules . . . and if you hadn't told me, I'd have never guessed about the sea & sky "borrowed' from other areas. Nicely put together . . . makes me want to go disect this & see if I can reproduce the results =)))

Heidi Jonker		12-Jan-2010 20:29
Nice effect!

Gary Blanchette		12-Jan-2010 19:56
Hahaha! We all break the rules Robin. Heck, I sneaked on to private property in order to capture one of my recent challenge shots. Rebellion is all a part of the creative process.

Guest		12-Jan-2010 19:27
Wonderful creation Robin!! Great PS work!

Stewart Mitchell		12-Jan-2010 19:19
Super processing, creates an intruiging effect!

Stephanie		12-Jan-2010 18:56
This is really beautiful Robin! You hit a home run with this image (even though you broke the rules....) V.

J. Scott Coile		12-Jan-2010 18:52
Man... lots of well done PS work.

monica memoli		12-Jan-2010 18:43
