White flower on a white background...very headachey but you did right here...
It's a nice shot, but is far too crisp to be a watercolour. A bit more work to soften the edges and to reduce the more vibrant colours will get you closer to your goal.
Aah...don't understand what you mean.very headachey but you did right here
Can do, thanks.soften the edges and to reduce the more vibrant colours
If you're really serious about this approach, there are lots of tutorials at "photo art" web sites about how to convert an image into a water color.
I like your photo a lot. You preserved great detail everywhere except one small area in each of two flowers. Check out the top two flowers on the right side of the left stem.
Nicely done, leaning more towards airbrush art in the contrast and color capture.
Hi Chauncey,
Thank you for sharing. As you know I hope to learn more about this look but I think the colours and edges of the petals need to be softer, sort of a fade away look but almost like a drawing in that sometimes they seem to show lots of detail.

Hi Chauncey,
Just to say that I also prefer the original. Nevertheless thank you for sharing. I will try this on one of my swans.
That makes entirely too much sense.Make an image that you like for the reasons you like it
Pretty flowers but I'd like them better on a background. Perhaps on textured art paper in a very pastel color.
