It's not too bad, the idea of desaturating the background is always nice (I did the same with my trapped beauty II). But it is visible how you manually desaturated it around the flower (a yellow-green glow on the outside). Try to be more careful next time, choose a very small brush size of the sponge tool in PS and reduce the flow so you can allow yourself a couple of mistakes and touch the red. I'd also like to see the stalk and leaves in full green, so that the entire rose would stand out, not just the flower. I think that would add to the dramatic mood (something like the colored rose on the desaturated background in the legendary Guns 'n' Roses video - November Rain).

But I like your style and your ideas, especially 'cause we think much the same way. And the color on the rose is just so ...beautiful.

yeah, this one went a bit wrong... I loved the basic idea, but it went a bit screwy methinks Ill do what you suggested though - mybe Ill update this version, or maybe a new one altogether... The colour on the rose is actually darker than it is - I edited that a bit, because it was actually really bright and looked very wrong. thanks for the comment about this though, I need all the constructive comments I can get, its comments like this that really make a difference to the *art* I show...

great song by the way did you want me to tell you when I get the edits to this picture done, so you can see?

Well, you could add just a bit more brightness if you ask me (or maybe there's something different with our monitors as far as brightness is concerned?), but it's beautiful blood-red like this too. And please do notify me when you've re-made this, I wanna seeeeee!

No problem about the comments, my pleasure.

I didnt add more brightness, mainly because it changed the quality of the pictures the new version is here [link] (I hope). and thanks again, in case I didnt say it enough last time

This one is beautiful! I kind a like the way B&W is mixed with colors. And then again; I like flowers. Great work

thank you muchly! I think there may be more playing around on photoshop, so there might not be anything as "creative" as this for a while...

I think it's beautiful no matter how un-impressed you may be i love it great colour saturation on the rose. absolutely beautiful

cariadav In reply to Horrible-Beauty [2004-07-23 01:16:32 +0000 UTC]

thanks I think the reason I wasnt impressed was because of the lack of detail in the redness of the rose. In the original it was really detailed, but I lost the original unfortunately, and had to work from this dark one

Think it might've been interesting to see the same picture but with rose in black and white and the leaves and such not. Very nice picture though

hmm.... I could try that - I'll see how it turns out. It'll either be in scraps or gallery (funnily enough) probably tomorrow. Maybe later
