Description UPDATE October 27, 2008

I started to rework my roses series to refine the print quality of the pictures.

Corrections:
  • General noise removed
  • Color fringes removed
  • Bokeh softened
  • Double effect at the edges removed

Here comes the elegant beauty Onyx to you! I really like it. Due to some suggestions I even could improve the picture. Do you see that there is still a tiny hint of color in it?

You can find the original colored rose on my photo account Viliggoly : viliggoly.deviantart.com/art/L… and here: home.arcor.de/6n.plus.minus.1/…

The title is handwritten like in all other pieces of the rose series.



The complete series: Magical Roses

GOLD: Precious
PURPLE: Passionata
SILVER: Metallica
BLACK: Onyx
WHITE: Sinfonia
GREEN: Paradise
ORANGE: Brillante

RAINBOW: Perfection

EXTRA >>> YELLOW: Regina



Made with Canon EOS 30D, edited in Photoshop CS3.

Would you prefer a monochrom grey/black? I thought that would be boring. Thanks!

It does look very muck like velvet.
But I can't help but think it looks more like it would feel like a soft peach.
Though it still looks as made out of stone... It's a paradox, but beautiful!

But if you don't mind me saying, the fuzzy white-ish outline of the outer petals to the top and top-right of the rose caught my eye.
It looks a bit like motion blur, and to me that looks a bit off. O_o

Don't know if there is anything to do about them though? Cause I got this sneaking suspicion they are a product of your lovely velvet effect.

Anywho, amazing combination of the feel of hard stone in the background and then soft velvet... I'm impressed!

Lilyas In reply to Firstborn [2008-06-28 09:51:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, sweetie, I have done nothing to the photo but changing hues, saturation and contrasts. All other effects are from the shot itself. First of all let me tell you this rose has a natural look of soft velvet. >> [link] (This is a totally unedited shot.)

Firstborn In reply to Lilyas [2008-06-28 10:14:11 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I didn't know roses could have such a velvety quality to them. I really thought it was a manipulation of some sort.

I'm still not fond of the white-ish outlines. ^^ But many, many others seem not to mind, so this time it might just actually be me being a nit pick.

And as I said, it really IS a beautiful picture! And the message I see in it is well worth pondering upon.
