August Photo Competition DISCUSSION THREAD

oh and the Ligualaria is not "Desdimona" it is "Brit- Marie- Crawford", it is a spectacular black leaved pland for wet ground. VERY dramatic, just LOVE it!

 

Private message, Waco!!

 

Fantastic roders, :eek: two wins in a row maybe! :D

 

I have not seen a propper peace for years, and that looks like a good one!

 

no not got it dendy???

 

Thanks MF and Waco. Its an old rose, I planted many years ago. I love the delicate shading of peace.

 

OK Guys, as if the competition is not hard enough, some of you are putting your pics in frames now how do you do it?

Juliet, how did you produce your "Fire & Brimstone" from last months comp?

I have not entered anything yet, still trying to find one that is good enough.

Sue

 

Rosietu, thats a gorgeous photo Well, they are all so good this Month Im going to have to put them all in a hat and pull out 3 :rolleyes:

 

Frogesque... agree with Marley your Ladies Day pic.is awesome...

 

Nope, WAco - haven't a clue!!

Agree - Ladies Day is a winner - fantastic!!

 

Sue I did it with Adobe Photoshop. The flower and butterfly already had a dark background but I used the brush tool to black out the background. I had to enlarge the whole shot and finely painting round the edges and then the rest of the background to 'black it out'. It took an hour! It's not the most natural shot but the actual butterfly and flower were not enhanced in anyway.

 

Hi Juliet, thanks for that, not saying that I could manage it though, sounds too high tech for me, but when I have some spare time, (never enough of it these days) I will have a go.

 

Suedobie, that fuchsia is beautiful!
