Retinal Tingling - a photo on Flickriver

Retinal Tingling

            This, believe it or not, is a picture bicoloured paeony flower taken at the RHS Wisley garden with a vintage lens. Or at least it started out that way (see the first comment).

Often paeony flowers are host to all sorts of invertebrates, which is both interesting and annoying at times when you are photographing them. You can see a typical beetle and its clone in the image :)

I’ve noticed before that using a mirror distort filter on flowers often produces interesting results. The bulk of work is done by creation and you’re just tidying up the symmetry. The results often make me want to go back to the original and look more closely (see the first comment if you are interested).

For Sliders Sunday today, this was overcooked with Nik Color Efex using about eight of the filters to mangle tone and colour, having knocked out the greens to produce a black background first. If you would like the Nik preset that I created for this then please ask.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
