Tulips for Murry

Postby sian on Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:12 am

I know Murry loves flowers as much as I do so here goes. I added a new background, used a different texture, darkened the flowers a tad and added a vignette.

Softening the edges still a problem for me despite taking Lisa's advice :? but something I will continue to work on.

Comments/advice/tips welcomed.

These are just gorgeous, Sian. So painterly, yet detailed and so well done. Sian, you don't need to use soften edges especially on these. I only use it when I find sharpening artifacts and that's only on rare occasions.

Thanks Jo, your comments are appreciated. The texture is one from a Trimoon cd (Texture 121 if I remember rightly).

Oh you shouldn't have :oops: These are really nice Sian! I love the varigated colors and the background you did. I can smell them from across the pond :D Tulips don't do well here in Houston beacuse of the heat and humidity and I really miss them so your gift is a welcome surprise!!
