Flowers on a Gray Day

322 / 365
It has been raining for days and I have had the blahs. No postings, no comments just blahs. ...So we've got these annuals in some of the pots scattered about and on this wet & dreary day they really looked good and I said 'why not?' So I did, but why not bend the pixels as well? So I did that too. I forget the name of this particular flower (like I really knew it!) and here it is... on the front walk, Trumbull, Connecticut, USA (Pentax K5) CRITIQUE WELCOME

Lovely image! How do you "bend pixels"?

@sunworshipper ...Pixel Bender is a free plug-in for Photshop CS5 from Adobe Labs. I am told it is now part of CS6. I like using the program in that it can take an average image and turn it into an average work of art!

I feel your pain, Howard - I've had a case of the "blahs" myself lately - too much do do, not enough time, and dreary weather. In any case, I love your flower photo - love ethe pinkish tones against the greens - and always love your bent pixels!

Great bent pixels! The flowers appear to be floating on a green sea. When viewed large the green appears to be alive! Or maybe it's my eyes...

@salza ... I see what you mean about the flowers floating... however, I just made an appointment with my ophthalmologist, and am going to have my eyes checked!

See how nice and dark the colors are. I love the color on a dark and dreary day. A beautiful shot Howard.

Good to have you back! I rather like the "floating" flowers - I believe this seems to be affecting all our eyes.

Gorgeous flowers! I like what you do with your processing, it's so different, but very very cool! :-)
