    Wow
    That I would hang on a wall.......... what a heavenly rose... you made it look so ethereal. You even managed to pull out some aqua and yet leave it looking so soft.

    That is Beautiful Artworkiloveyou.gif

    Just beautiful.

    JAG is right. Be sure to read all the rules before you enter the challenge. There is nothing so dispiriting as having a strong entry disqualified! Or any entry for that matter.

    Thank you for the comment. The actual name of the rose is "Fabulous". As far as emulating anyone "didn't know I was. Just having a little fun with camera raw "carity adjustment" and a quick levels adjustment in PS. ne_nau.gif

    Those are some fine roses
    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for sharing the link... those are beautiful..

    My personal favs:clap.gif

    2nd Barbra Streisand
    3rd Northern Gold
    and the 3rd Moonstone..

    you have a real knack for rose shots....

    I hope you don't mind but I looked around your smug galleries.

    I see your diving head first into it going pro.. love the model shots.. My favorite is the bride by the pond, that one has real impressive composition.

    I have a question.. Do you use painter X to achieve your oil painting effects?

    I am getting into the illustration art myself and just wondered if you use painter X or CS3 Photoshop to achieve the effects you got.. they turned out nice..

    You definitely have talent.. I wish you all the best..wings.gif

    I just PMed her. The only galleries I have up that have been taken with a DSLR are the two feathur galleries. 1 is the roses from the Tyler Rose Garden the other is Wild Flowers from east Texas. The only wedding I have shot was my Nephew's wedding last July at the rose garder, mid-day and almost 100 deg. and it is passworded.

    she may have went to "whitetr" and not "trwhite".

    guys.. thanks.. I went to the link he posted and looked at his roses... then I clicked back on the tree of links and I assumed that took me to his other galleries. lol.... oops.. I did not even read it said Terry.. I was just assuming T for Tim and did not pay it much attention..

    thanks for letting me know that.. well I am sure the roses were his right?

    so my comments on those still stand...
