Lucy's Toy- Take Three by olivetreeann

Lucy's Toy- Take Three

Another variation on Lucy's toy. This time I decided to see what would happen if I purposely played with the exposure. I pushed it as high as it would go and then added the Orton effect to give the colors a little more saturation. In an effort to counter balance the overly orange coloring of the processed picture I added a vignette of dark blue (color wheel fundamentals!). I wanted to also give the shot a little more texture so I added the film grain effect to do so. I put a dark blue border frame around the edge to give the the picture a solid edge and here's the final result. Tomorrow...something completely different will probably appear. But for now, you may want to grab your sunglasses while viewing this version!
Very nice

I actually like the bright colors.... Perfect for a gray day.

Did you ever see those candied fruit slices that come in bright jewel colors. This reminds me of those like slices of some tropical or alien plant

Vibrant abstract with such interesting effects. You really did change it considerably from the original. Sounds like fun!

Great photo and processing.

Zappy ... actually I just won a little bet with myself, that you'd go for the Orton effect next.

@chrismarfil Thank you Chris!
@sangwann Thank you Dione- you can say that again!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Bright is an understatement! hehe
@cimes1 Thanks Carole! This personal challenge is all about experimentation for me- which I love to do with the processing effects!
@la_photographic Thanks Laura! Not such a great photo because the original is slightly blurred, but you can see how the effects will lessen that here.
@automaticslim lol Andy- you know me too well! Thanks!

Excellent processing to get yet a different photo from that original object. You are very creative and definitely know what you're doing! Well done! :)

@bruni Thank you Bruni! I was looking for something a little different than what I ended up with, but I liked it.
@prttblues Thank you Bev! It may appear as if I know what I'm doing, but so much of it really is experimentation.
