Description You know I love blue roses. So here is another one for you. Still in Christmassy style.

I dedicate this work to my dear father Dieter Seidel who died four years ago on December 18, 2004. He will be in my heart forever!





My father in this last year together with me


This flower was originally red and was turned into blue with Photoshop CS3. I created a little tutorial for you for this kind of color adjustment: >> lilyas.deviantart.com/art/PS-T…

Let me take the time to say I am so sorry about your father. He must have been in pain for so long, and remember he's in a better place now. Well, I won't dwell on that because I don't want to open up old wounds for you. ^ ^

I love this photo; the colours all match and blend well together, so they almost seem to pop out, they don't look all thrown together like a lot of photography I have seen. xD Brilliant, as usual.

RIP Mr. Dieter Seidel.
i am so sorry for your loss, it is never easy dealing with a family member's passing.
I am positive your father loves this, and wishes he could tell how proud he is of you - which i am sure he is.
Amazing work.
Merry Christmas, sweet.

I appreciate this piece more than you could imagine. I actually have a short story that is in three pieces and is a collaboration between myself and a friend of mine. It is centered around a beautiful blue crystal rose necklace that may or may not exist (we hold out hope there is one like it somewhere). Would you be interested in reading it? I ask also because my friends and I have been wanting to illustrate the three different parts of the story, with one or two focusing solely on the rose, but we never knew what the rose would like. Well now I have made them aware through notes that this is the rose I would like to use as a model for those illustrations. Thank you!!

Lilyas In reply to Reluctant-Uryu [2008-12-18 16:07:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, please let me read it. If this rose fits too well I will give you permission to use it to illustrate your story.
