The Process of a Beautiful Rose...

2008.06.11
"Piece de Resistance"! :)

Original Photo! :)

Conversion to Infrared...

Add back some color...

Add varieties of black

Select rose bloom from the background...colorized rose bloom on black

Enhance mauve tones of red rose...

Crop to orientation of end result, and prepare to remove the upper left part of the stem... :)

This is yet another example of the process I use to create the photo that I really want to present as my "piece de resistance"!

Similar is the process of writing a novel or creating a movie. Rare is the author who knows everything about his or her work when they begin. Usually they think, "Okay, Hero where will we go today!"

How many times have you seen your favorite fullback take the ball and twist, turn, even hurdle opposing players in pursuit of the goal line? :) Enjoy! :)
