Before and After by stray_shooter

Before and After

I have these white roses at the front of my house, and they bloom this time of year for some reason. They've always intrigued me because the rosebuds are pink, but when it blooms it's primarily white with just a tinge of pink. The original image wasn't all the exciting, so I took a few liberties with the editing process. Don't hold it against me please! On black seems to brings some of the color and detail out.
This is actually very dramatic looking on black. I like the juxtaposition of the bud and the flower.

Don't be shy to edit - it then becomes an original art photo! You could imagine this as a cushion cover - maybe tapestry - or a striking large picture on the wall!

Absolutely love the processing you did here!! The squiggly artistic lines on the flowers and especially in the background are very appealing. Could definitely see this hanging up on a wall as a canvas! FAV!

@taffy Thanks Taffy. I'm pretty sure I cut two years off of my life moving to get that juxtaposition.

@maggiemae Good points all....but unbecoming for a Harley guy. Let's just keep this between us, okay?

@pcoulson You're very kind, sir. I'll let you in on a little secret - that background is my stucco wall. The processing made it look a bit less stuccoie (I'm sure that's a word).

@cjphoto Thanks Chris. If I make that a canvas, I'll credit you with the idea! ;)

@joysfocus Thanks Joy, I took inspiration from you!

@stray_shooter Oh good grief - you are a Harley man? That's not a motorcycle,says hubby John! Who is a fan of the Indians of course!
January 8th, 2020  
@maggiemae Thought you knew that. John's preference is understandable! I do love the Indian, but think we can agree on the fact that the BMW is despicable. ;-)

Nice almost oil paint-like texture in the picture. Beautiful
