~ Natures' Delight ~


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.

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

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 ! :)
