Yellow Day Lily

[DigitalScape]

Yellow Day Lilies from a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store - (I needed something to shoot and it is too cold outside )



Then I played with a painting filter I recently purchased (Impresso Pro) that allows you to apply different painting effects to the image

I really like the first. It's all a matter of taste, but the filter on the second leaves me cold.

I haven't done much yet this winter, but I usually spend a lot of winter evenints photographing cut flowers indoors. Makes a nice winter photography project.

Nice capture, the first does seem a bit more creative, I see what you are doing with the second edit and perhaps it would work if you used it selectively.

The first version is quite lovely, John.

Thank you Dan, John, and Janis for your comments/feedback. The web sized version does not show off the filter effects very well. I'll have to continue to experiment/play with it.

Very nice and I prefer #1 as it is sharper.

I like a dark background for bright flowers and a bright background for dark flowers. However, I don't like a white background for any flower.

I love #1

I love #1 -- I have them in my garden and love them very much but mine is gone now...too cold. I like the composition too.
