Two versions of this bird of paradise close-up, shot in the Springfield Lakes gardens ... natural (above), and a posterized variant (below). Quite like the effect of the latter purely from a dramatic colour perspective. .
I just love the way you have captured the vibrancy of the colours of this stunning bird of paradise. The computer effect gives an impressionistic image which is waiting to be painted. BB
Thanks all ... When I first saw the results of this pic I thought it would be nice to get a bit 'arty' with it ... My first impression after posterizing it was, "that would look great framed" ... possibly even processed onto canvas as they do to give it that 'oil painting' look. Nice that others felt the same way ! :)
Although the original concept for this photo-blog may have changed somewhat due to Life, Love etc (ad nauseum), I WILL chip away at this thing (where possible) until I have completed the countdown from 365. Who knows, I may have a sudden rush of available time (cough) or overwhelming inspiration and still complete the project within the 12 months, although the realist in me says "you're dreamin' mate" ... Whatever, However and Whenever, fruition SHALL be reached (and I have it on good advice that Fruition is a rather nice place, particularly in Spring) :o)

The posterisation effect creates a very modern image. This would look great blown up to wall size !
