Our imagination flies — we are its shadow on the earth. ~Vladimir Nabokov
I'm so excited that Bonnie's Photo Art Friday is back...the prompt will only be once a month now, but I'm very happy to participate again. This month's theme is "flower photo art". I played with this photo I took in Hilton Head several weeks back. I used Bonnie's "Scratched Lens" texture at Color/100%. I also put it through RadLab to enhance the colors. There's a freedom in taking something real and making it look very un-real...if you've never participated in a photo art challenge, I encourage you to try! Let go of the rules in your head and turn your image into something from a fantasy world - there's a joy in it that can't be denied.
Next month's prompt is "water" and you can submit your link at Pixel Dust Photo Art on September 6th. Click on the button below for more details.
This is wonderful. It's so artistic. I like it a lot.

ReplyDeleteWonderful piece. The colors you achieved are very harmonious (even if they aren't real). I love how the flower pops and your eye is drawn right to it. I agree there is joy in experimenting with what you can do with photos.
