Surreal Lavender by taffy

Surreal Lavender

Had a bit of fun using post-processing to turn lavender from recognizable to something else. This is the same stalk as the bee photograph on http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2014-06-25.
Thank you for your lovely comments and favs on my dragonflies yesterday! Despite being on Beaver Island, today was actually a long work day and I've not had much time for commenting or photographing. I look forward to catching up over the next day or two.
Gorgeous flower with beautiful detail and DOF. FAV.

really like what you did here. great processing its quite sparse for lavender, on our lavender, the flowers are grouped closer together.

Fascinating colors and sweet details:)

Great processing, looks like a flower made for cake decoration.
July 2nd, 2014  
Beautiful! Almost looks like blown glass!
July 2nd, 2014  
Interesting how processing brings different aspects of an image into focus. I like the detail I see around the edges of the petals and near the stem.

Such a beautiful shot, Taffy. Love the color and your processing. I agree with what was said above, almost looks like blown glass. FAV

Pretty shot

The processing is great Taffy. Before joining 365, and in the early days I tended to prefer photos without visible processing, there's still a hint of that left as I dislike, or maybe like less, some over processing. I'm having to educate myself that done well it's a marriage between art and photography ( and that done well depends on personal taste). I love this, even more on black. Fav

Lovely colour.

I was waiting for this super special picture...cannot believe that it has had only 2 fave's so far!? I really love the delicateness which you have managed to capture and bring out in your processing. This is one of those pictures which I think deserves a PP and TT...and sadly it seems like it is not going to be up there...

Nice purple flower stalks, and especially the background! And, yes, if you had not mentioned they were lavender I would not have recognized them.
