Gathering of the Palm Snails by restlessd

Image captured in semi-closeup mode at a friends place in Oceanside, CA. I loved the contrast of the blooming fronds spiraling to the straight lines of the stem. And the snails gathered added a muted contrast as well. 3 image exposures to create a pseudo-HDR. Post processed Photoshop: used native filters, background blended using the Orton Effect and outside filters including Fractalius. (music added to enjoy while viewing (below) / / Honorably Featured: / / (Samba Pa Ti – Santana)

Mystical Ferns V.2 by Junior Mclean

There was a time I wanted to give this to the staff at Sears, but decided to hold on to it, currently I got the original design framed in case I do future public art displays at Starbucks again, so far due to the issues here in NYC. I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but will say that it works better as a card design or other, idk. Apophysis 2.06 I think, idk this was around 2007, CS, this version used CS3 since this is part of a jewel series now. I never design lame crap, sheeeeeeesh. L8ter.
The Proper Victorian - In Red by W. J. St. Christopher

The Twelfth Rose by maxy

Eleven is cool, but this one got the twelfth! All objects were created using Incendia and then blended and merged with Redfield’s Water Ripples, layering upon layering to give the sense of Rosie the Octopus emerging from deep under the water…. to give this rose to you! I worked on this one all week and then, when finally trying to save… well.. I ended up with 67 megapixel blue screen!! So… alas had to try try again… lol! (I’m thinking that trying to do a thirteenth rose might not be a very good idea…..)

Love to You (Cymbalism) by restlessd

I think it makes an amazing kaleidoscope. You can just barely read the Zildjian on the cymbals. The Fractalius filter worked wonderfully with this creation, it almost looks like a Cymbal Flower : ) This was created from a photograph of the drum set that is used in my son’s bands Odyssey in Exile & Arkaik / Enjoy the music: / / Love to You – The Beatles
