Saturday Art
Joining Claudia for:
The Original SOOC (Straight Out of Camera)
A little Geometric Pattern and some Texture Added:
What lovely magnolia blossom. It looks so striking on the bare branches of the tree without any leaves. And your added effects are lovely too, making for two very different takes on the original image. All the best, Bonny

looks like a honey comb ... very interesting look. ( :
i love those tulip tree. we have them around here ...most of ours of the same type or way huge ... so you have to look up to see the blooms. not close up like these.
What a lovely photo. I love magnolia, they are one of my favorite flowers. I like what you have done with it, the colors in your renderings. Serenity - yes, that fits it.
Hi There, I just had to visit someone who is named IDA. That was my grandmother's name (whom I never knew since she died before I was born). BUT--I have never heard of anyone else with that wonderful name. I love it --and if I had have had a girl (had 3 sons), I wanted to name her Ida....
Ida, this is so very beautiful, from its original/natural state, to its enhanced version. You really added a touch of delicate delight. The quote is the perfect complement.
Ida, I really love your new banner photo!! What a great effect on those tulips. Please forgive me if you've had them up there for weeks -- I'm behind on my blog readings AS USUAL! But I do enjoy your photography! Thanks for the happy flowers.
I know nothing of photo programs. My Rebel came with photo shop and I'm afraid to even look at it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms.
