Painting with Photoshop

[Rob Smith]

Was out birding one day & saw these cactus flowers from the corner of my eye. Stopped & took a few from the car window & then water coloured them in Photoshop.

I can’t say I’m really big on these types of effects. I personally would like to see it as nature intended, in all its glory and colour. You’re gear is so good – exploit it. :)

I like the effect and think that the edit looks great but I agree with D on this one, you have some top notch gear and looking at these edits I can see how beautiful the original shots were and now I want to see the originals LOL

I agree with D and Mel, you must post the original too. But nevetheless I really love the first one, you've done it so well it looks just like an oil painting.

Great stuff :)

O.K. Will post the originals over the weekend. Have to say though I have prnited & hung the first in my office. Appreciate your thoughts everyone

As anticipated it is a beautiful shot... But you did a great job for the painting effect, it really makes up for the a-little-softness of the original.

Agree Jackie, Thanks for your comments.

Well I did say your edit looks good :p Did you get it printed on canvas? That would have really topped it off nicely :)

[Rob Smith]
