Photoscapes Unleashed ~ Stone Planter



Before - I took this at the Botanical Gardens and although it came out fine, I loved the colors and wanted to do something different. The result is below.




After ~ I deepened the color, added a swirl, pinch and tightened the highlighted center.

Enjoy!

The photo is beautiful, and the stone planter is so unique. I love what you did after. It looks as if it's under the water world..

I saw what Icy did--love that planter but the underwater kind of image is really wonderful, too! Hard to believe they are the same photo!

For some reason, the planter reminds me of a pumpkin and the 2nd photo is like looking deep into someone's eyes.

I thought of pumpkin, AVCr8teur has mentioned it. I thought of underwater kind of image, Icy BC has mentioned too. So, I am their followers now.

I think it looks like an undersea creature of some kind with wavy green tentacles.

Wow, what a most beautiful descriptive planter. I love what design can do, and how you have transformed a simple photograph into your own creativity, into a unique energy of experience. So happy to have stopped by. I found you over at ICYBC's blog, and have been here before. I love your paintings. They are truly lush and so very pretty.

Icy, it does huh? Thanks so much, you've inspired me.

Will Oaks, thanks, it is so much fun creating something new from these photos.

Klivengood, thank you, I actually like the "after" much better :)

koe, thank you, I do too.

AVC, very creative thoughts on this For me, the after photo reminds me of a giant snail underwater :)

Glynis, lol! I'll have to send you some prints :)

Salitype, thanks so much, you're sweet.

C, you caught me again, I certainly do :

Carmen, I thought the same. For me it looks like a giant underwater snail.

Ana, Thank you Ana, I love what I can do with photo software. Thanks again so much for visiting.

I like both. The stone planter is nice looking, and maybe your changes are even more attractive. Your second picture looks similar to the art you have sometimes shown, which is excellent.

Joanne,

Are you shifting to computer design? You made a great picture. Very surreal and it evokes mystery.

This is awesome. I did not think that you touch up the picture until I read your comments. The picture looks natural. Great job!
