Daisy and odd bug...processed to pieces.
ETSOOI-38 is all about light. This was created using manipulation of solarization filter (elapsed time in particular) followed by some tweaking in Color Efex Pro.

Really cool effect. Is it negative tone?

[Taffy]

@lambda It's a combination but the primary effect was from the slider in Color Efex Pro called Solarization.

[Elaine]

Lol you really are having fun with these challenges Taffy, interesting processing. I like the bug on the flower head.

Whoa... wild processing. I really like how the light outlines the bee and the flower at the edges, almost adding a halo effect. Very artistic.

[Kane Arlow]

Great processing. The light looks fantastic.

Super cool processing.

[Kathie]

Wow. This is so neat. The flowers look metallic.

[Marnie]

Great stuff Taffy, this is perfect for the theme. The daisies look like quite unearthly and the bug quite sinister. I really like this shot. Fav for me.

[Pam Knowler]

Great processing here Taffy! I really must get the colour Efex as I am always blown away when you use it.

[Suse♡]

How striking and interesting processing!

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible macro. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

So this was created by a filter on your lens? And then a bit of post processing? This is way cool!

[Taffy]

@espyetta No lens filter at all, just did a slight over exposure for soft focus, and then using Color Efex Solarization filter, I played with elapsed time and got it to look almost like this. Then, tweaked in Aperture. Sounds more complicated than it was.

[Marloes]

Love your processing and playing with light. Great title too ;)
