A Paean to Twiddly Bits (SS Edit)

Another two-image set with a standard edit and a version for Sliders Sunday. It’s of a white paeony with yellow twiddly bits, subsequently twiddled to something quite different.

 

I’ve done this sort of thing before with a flower and quite liked the result. The basic approach is to duplicate the flower image layer, use a Diffuse adjustment on the top layer and then try various blend modes on that layer to blend it with the underlying layer. Difference, Subtract or Negation modes seem to produce quite interesting effects The result is often quite dark, but colourful, so you just need to brighten it and twiddle the colours… or mess about with it another way ;)

 

This version was blended using Subtract. The underlying image layer was formed of two, duplicated image layers blended with Colour Burn at 26% opacity.

 

I’ll post a link to the in-camera image in the first comment as the standard edit took it some way.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
