Just something a liitle different from your average flower pic

Mic.
This one is Extracted & played with & Tweaked a bit

nice rose. The title emotes specific feelings for me. Something about the waterdrops reminds me of tears. very powerful. Great Pic.

Thanks storm,

Coming from you that is a great compliment, you're NetMagi's friend I believe ?

That great Hand Shot ?

Cheers,

Mic.

Nice rose Mic Very poignant.

The rose itself almost looks inverted

Thanks Wayne,

No, Channel Mixed with the Green then a Curve to lighten a bit

I'm Mr Channels now

Heh nice one

By the way, have a look here

WoW Cool Wayne,

I might audition for that

Nice effect there, a black rose. Sort of weird IR type feel to it.

Regards, Trebs.

This is an outstanding image. Just to nitpick I'd clone out the spider web thingy connecting two petals at about 1 -2 o'clock.

He delegated to me
And actually it should be spelt Reaper's

Another spelling Nazi

*takes his metal ruler out*

Stand in line!!! (Fixed.)

Mic - I believe there is a funeral association by the name of The White Ladies - maybe you could start one with your black rose and call it The Men in Black

Thanks Mistress Leigh, I'll be standing in line

Chris, Hmmm, not a bad idea.

Mic, I like it a lot.
(And, it gives me some more ideas.)

Cheers
John

I love it!

It almost has a terminator 2 style liquid metal effect to it.

Thanks johnd kepp em cumin

Thanks dhess, glad you love so do I

Mic.

Really like this, it's something different and for some reason has a very powerful, sombre, almost evil feel to it... Maybe it's just me

Wish the spider thread wasn't mentioned, now it sticks out doh! The power of suggestion is amazing...

Thanks mudder, Thats exactly what I wanted to hear, hence the name.

With a pic I just start out with something normal, with a bit of imagination which hides itself within my brain somewhere I occasionally trap it and something like this comes out. Sometimes it takes hours, this one took about 5 min, it's the quick ones that usually work the best

I find red wine, green & blue pills even more interesting

Thanks for seeing & feeling.

Cheers,

Mic.

cranial capacity of the average human rates at about 12% mic i believe you have hit the 15% mark. i like pics that use our imagination even though you invert you are using at least 1-2% more of yur cranial perception than the average joe blogs. surely there are more people on this forum who can be expressive and creative in their ow way like mic does and enlighten everyone here with their own special talents. LET GO PEOPLE BE BRAVE BE ADVENTEROUS

Gee Jethro,

I thinks I better break out the RGB Pills next

Watch out

Thanks. I think

Mic.

Cleans glasses
Adjusts laptop screen
looks for crow to eat

shakey

I think this is great Mic, is that evil of me??

A black almost velvet looking rose....I love it! And I agree about the water dropplets looking like tears. A very powerful image IMO.

Well done......keep up with those pills!

Whoa, that looks great mic! Almost has an 'electron microscope' type look to it in parts. Very cool.

I definitely want some of what you're on though, must be good stuff!

I'll forgive you this time shakey

Gees, thanks Stormy, I'll pOp another just for you.

Thanks MCWB, Life MCWB LIFE !

Great shot.

Or rather great manipulation. Looks like a black rose.

Would you mind doing a very quick run through of how you do that?

Hey PiP

Well, you go >

Channel Mixer with Blue Channel or Green.
Levels which will drop the background
Then lighten a bit

Crop / sharpen / size / post

Some don't work well though, it all depends on the light you capture in the original image.

Have a red wine & let your imagination have a play. Great stress relief too. If you have young kids that drive you nuts it's good quality time with yourself.
