Lily_037

Having admired a blurred tree image in the photostream of paul.scott103 (do take a look as he has great work), Paul very kindly gave me some advice about using the blur filter in PS.

 

This is a picture that I took of a lily some time ago and I've today treated it with the radial zoom filter to give it a really dreamy quality. The filter can go overboard, so I added a layer mask and gently painted back in the edges of the petals to give some definition to the flower shape.

 

Love it - thanks to Paul for inspiring me to give this technique a try :o)
