Garden Lily
A pretty lily from my garden that I had some fun with using different levels and different filters and textures in Photoshop. Couldn’t for the life of me decide which version I preferred, so decided to combine them in an odd and very uncooperative little program I have on here called “Comic Life.”
The original image was taken with the Nikon D300 on July 8, 2009. Shutter 1/500, aperture f/11.0, exp -.33, iso 400.
Also Available As The Originals:
Light:
Medium:
Dark:

Awesome work Lois…beautiful in all creations….my fav is the bottom one!! :)
Lois Bryan replied
Hi Donna!!!! Thank you so much!!! I like the darkest one too … but I’m ALWAYS going for the darker more contrasty images … so I talked myself out of that one. You should have seen me … like it would change the fate of the world!!! So I copped out and did the montage, lol!!!!
Carolyn Staut
Well Girl, whatever you did, it is totally fantastic. I really do love the abstract feel of this one and the colors are dripping with elegance. You outdid yourself again!
Lois Bryan replied
Oh, Carolyn, thank you so so much!!!!! They’re such pretty flowers … they have this sparkly thing going on in the petals that, in the morning when the sun is right, is just irresistible!!!

This is WAY COOL Lois. I love it! My favorite of the 3 (for the bottom image) is the light version. Love the textures in this creation :)
Lois Bryan replied
Hiii Renee!!!! Thank you so much, sweetie. The light version is the original and is the one I was originally going to post. I don’t know what devil got into me to see what it looked like dark, lol!!!! Then I felt bad for the light one and made the middle one … and then I got so confused I didn’t know WHAT to do!!!!!
