Rose Bud

I've been playing in Photoshop as you can see. I mess around and then don't know if I like the end result or not. What do you think, feel free to be honest.

Love it! It's soft and delicate!

[ryncediez]

very pretty so delicate and i love the processing too.

[Ian]

I love it, love the processing and love the idea of the shadow being a new bud, love it. I wonder what it would be like the other way round with a shadow of the rose picture of bud :-)

[Rebecca Doyle]

The colours you have chose are absolutely gorgeous & complement each other so well. Great texture!
Photo wise, maybe a tad more light on the bud?? But that's minor - it's a lovely image.

@hanky Great suggestion Ian, thank you!

[Sheralee S]

@canberrabec You're brilliant Bec, I just tried that and it looks much better. I don't know how to update the pic without losing comments though. I saw it on a thread somewhere.

Love the texture - I so need to take the time to learn Photoshop! I just do the basics.

[Kimberly Mitchell]

Love that texture!

[Sheralee S]

@russianblue The trouble is you can spend hours just playing! I don't know much either, there is so much to learn.

[petra]

pretty effect!

[CocoRose]

I like it! Great job Sheralee! I asked Bec this same Q earlier too...were the textures you used already in PS or did you download them Sheralee? I haven't really found any yet that I really like that are already in PS (or maybe I haven't played around enough!). Maybe I need to download some...

[Sheralee S]

@cocorose I downloaded that one Bec. I haven't actually used any PS ones but I really haven't done much with textures at all. I love what I see others do like Bec's photo that you are talking about.

Lovely shot!

[Karen Sylvia]

I like it. It think it gives it a vintage feel. :)

[alia_801]

I love the shadow, but your processing is spot on for me :)

[Denise]

So soft and pretty.

[Geertje K.]

I think the processing is amazing, it makes the picture so dreamy! Only, the bud looks a bit like a strange shadow... Or is it a strange shadow? Because of the textures this looks more like a flat surface picture and then you expect a shadow of some kind, I think.

[Nadine]

Delicate and beautiful. Well done on the processing too. I also struggle with too much editing as I lose sight with what I'm doing and then don't know when to stop. You didn't overdo it here, it's just right.

[jerry plume]

Love the soft tones! Gorgeous job, Sheralee!

[Dana Derrico]

I really like the processing here...like some others have said, it gives it a vintage feel which is cool. :-)

[Kd Wallis]

i LOVE the end result. looks vintage and i LOVE the texture you have added. the shadow of the rose bud is also wonderful!! great job!

[Kate Klinck]

just beautiful!

[Crickle]

absolutely beautiful aesthetically and emotionally... can almost smell the rose and the nostalgia

[Jennifer C]

beautiful, love the soft colours and shadow!

[Robin]

Beautiful, Sheralee. Perfect processing.

[Milind Ketkar]

Awesome processing !!

[Ramona]

Great shot, I like the processing too.

[Kerri]

Very pretty

@bella_ss there is a way to change photos Sheralee - I've done it myself. Go to the Edit in Picnik tab under the ACE tools on the right hand side of your photo. Click on the "EDIT MODE" tab down the bottom of your next window. Click on UPLOAD photos (tab beside photo bucket tab) and select your new photo. Should change photos without losing comments. Hope this works - it's been a while since I did it. I love your rose BTW

[Sheralee S]

@murnane Thank you Marg, I will have to try that.

[Rach_who]

Lovely.

[Karoline Gilbert]

Pretty Sheralee! I do love the vintage-y look!
