Pétales dorés ...

On devrait chérir ces petits moments si particuliers qui rendent notre vie plus belle. Pouvons nous nous arrêter un instant et profiter d'un sourire, d'un mot doux, d'une attention, d"un regard complice; ces petits trésors de la vie de tous les jours que l'on oublie si vite mais qui nous font pourtant tellement de bien!

We should cherish these so special little moments that make our life to be better. Can we stop a second and enjoy a smile, a kind word, an attention, a knowing glance; all these little treasures of everyday life that we fastly forget but that are so good to feel!

A Trifecta-Starr to add - entitled:

Petal revival

I long while back when I was new to pullips (and to photography) I staged a few petal pictures, see it here, they didn't really come out the way that I had liked, mostly due to Rose being unfinished but now that her wig came in she is perfect and I am so happy to see things come together the way I had envisioned. I'm still deciding which to upload (since they all look so good to me) so I'll have more up tomorrow ^__^

I love the lighting of this long shot, it makes the feel so romantic <3

A long time ago there lived a girl who loved to dance with the most beautiful flowers in the world. But one day she danced so hard that all the flowers and the petals flew away. She was sad and she cried all the time in the hope that the flowers would return to her. But none of the beautiful flowers ever came back.

On a dark morning she opened her teary-eyed eyes. And there stood a not-so-beautiful flower in front of her that she has ever seen. She was so happy not to be alone anymore. And the not-so-sad girl and the not-so-beautiful flower started a long and geateful dance in the wind. And even today they are still dancing together, not alone and very happy.

Bette Midler - The Rose

She spent alot of time picking daisy petals and giving them to me to put my pocket to bring home, it was so sweet...

I just went with it, sometimes you just have to go with the flow....

Rose petal macro

Have a wonderful day/evening

Taken at the plant nursery in one of the polly tunnels.

Taken at f1.4 with a Multi-Coated Chinon 55mm f1.4 & 18-33mm focus helicoid as extension tube.

Pink paeony petals. Yep :)

This is derived from exactly the same image as last week, but with a different endpoint. It treads a well-trodden path for me though in this case I used a different way of producing the symmetry.

Oh, and it’s for Sliders Sunday in case you hadn’t guessed :)

First I developed the image in Affinity Photo to a passable rendition of the flower (effectively a plainer version of last week’s).

The symmetry was achieved very simply: duplicated the layer and then flipped it horizontally and blended the upper copy with Darken. Merged the two layers and repeated the performance but flipping vertically. And there we go: four-way symmetry.

[At this stage it is already a fun image. If you want to have a go do feel free to download the original and have a play yourself: it doesn't take long and can do it in Photoshop or Affinity. I suggest you try changing the colours and contrast a bit and see what happens...]

Then the pretty bit. Into Topaz Studio using the Glow filter and starting with the Contrast Cables preset. Quite a lot of fun and tweaking from there, and looking at it I must have played with hue shifting too.

Finally back into Affinity with a dark vignette and a slight tweaking of the brightness and contrast. The usual frame method of merging what we have so far, expanding the canvas by 100 pixels, placing a white fill layer underneath the merged layer; then adding a shadow and a 1-pixel black outline using layer fx.

I’ll post a link to the in-camera original in the first comment so you can see how far we meandered...

I rather liked the stained glass window effect...

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