FUN TO PLAY WITH CREATIVITY

Though nothing can be more beautiful than Nature itself, it is fun to play with photographs I have taken. 
But it is like reverting to childhood and playing with crayons when I dabble with the photo program.
Here are a few examples of my latest play day!
 This one of an iris is done with a dry brush paint effect.  Wish I really could paint so well!
This is another one of dogwood blossoms done in a dry brush effect. 
A close-up of the curls of an iris are also done with the dry brush effect.
 
This one has a posterization effect added. Can you spot the two different kind of bees?
 This one is an extreme posterization!!
It is a dahlia.
Another posterization.  It seems to grow on me. Reminds me of a painting with ink highlights added.
I did this one with light posterization effect added over watercolor which I had really lightened up a lot.
I had so much fun!
I do save my originals and work off of copies to "play."
Now, which do you like the best?
Remember, I do sell my photographs!

    Let's see, my favourite is the very last one. I deliberated before coming to my decision though! :)

    They're all so pretty, but I think I like the dogwood blossoms the best.

    Such pretty work Rose! And yes, I bought the Turtle (for my granddaughters to sit on and play with), it will sit outside their playhouse in my backyard! I fell in love with it :) Blessings to you, Cindy
