Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Have posted this before in colour, but I was testing some Channel Mixing & came up with this which I rather like.

Love the rose! It seems to come out at you. Personally I would be tempted to trim about 10% more off the edges just to tighten it up a little...but that's just my taste. Thanks for posting.

sedond...How? my only question.. haha.. how do you get just the rose lit up and not the background? I take it this is studio work? And what did you do to this to make it just jump out at you? Thanks!

Beautiful Mic. Taking you used the extraction tool in Photoshop CS?
Either that or you were mean and chopped the head off and put it on a bit of black velvet.

Wow, this is great! The rose is just about ready to jump out...

Mic, you seem to be the extraction master so can I ask a dumb question... I tried to use the extract filter but find that the extraction option as well as some others like render, sketch, liquify etc. are all grey'ed out unless I'm working on a jpeg, when aorkign on a jpeg they all become available ??? They don't appear available with PSD, tif, nef etc. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys, :wink:

No Extraction used here, though It had a dark green background of foliage and the rose was rather bright, I just used Levels and it went Black.

Amazing I thought, The channel mixer made it even more impressive.

Mudder > You have to be in 8 bit raw to use Extract and it takes a bit of practise to master, I could never have done this looking like this.

I just wish Levels worked like this all the time. :?

Thanks,

Mic. :wink:

Excellent work. It seems to draw your attention to the subject and at the same time adding mystery to it.
