| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Hi TL friends, today I tried something new for the macro series. I started from a macro of a red flower with a white inner center where you can see the yellow pistils covered in pollen.
I cropped part of a flower bringing the central part to the lower right corner, then I desaturated the photo.
Next, I resaturated the white part including the pistils, right to the edge where the red starts - thus, I created a red border around the center of the flower.
I increased saturation on the inside and then equalized the colors, obtaining the bluish color (over the previous red which had been desaturated).
I saturated the blue, then reduced noise and created a border 35% opacity.
Finally for a last touch, I placed this image on top of a desaturated copy and curled the page to reveal the colorless petal in the back. That's it.
This way the central part of the flower looks like a bouquet of small flowers rolled inside the big petals of the original flower :)
I hope this note is useful for you. There's a bit of work but it's worth it :)
Wish you all the best, and happy posting! |
