[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,

Yesterday we had the warm sunshine, the first for many days so I went into the garden to check on the autumn flowers. The sedum was coming into flower and made a carpet of pink. I took some shots, marvelling at the profusion of tiny, pink flower heads.

My lighthearted mood persuaded me to be a little frivolous and arty with this presentation!
I applied the liquify tool to the leafy b/g to create a pattern of swirls. Then I used the dry brush tool to give the impression of a painted scene.

I hope you enjoy it.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of this photograph. Bev :-)

I like your creative streak turning the photo into an impressionistic painting which although very lovely it would be nice to see the original. TFS.

Hi Beverley

Eureka! I'm connected again! I like the watercolour effect of the pp filter & the repetition of the swirls & flourishes. Good colour & sharpness with a nice shallow dof. Tfs!

this issue is more than astonishing
excellent color and clarity
beautiful details are represented
excellent contrast
elegant presentation

Hello Beverley

So lovely experiment. Like a painting.
Very romantic mood.
Beautiful frame , pretty composition.

My compliments Bev.
Kind regards

Hello Bev,
Quite an attractive and artistic image. You just have given me an idea as sedums are at peak bloom right now. But I don't think I can duplicate your pp process. Best regards...

Hi Bev,
Superb artistic work!
The pastel colors and the nice composition give a very beautiful picture. I adore this soft pink against the blurred green BG. I never such interesting sedum flowers. You help nature get started!
