I used the same Brushstroke texture that I shared with everyone the other day. For those of you that missed it I have included the link below. I also used Fractalius to give the image some webbing and glow. In Photoshop I used Equalize as an Adjustment to the image. I also cropped a little placing the center of the mum in relatively the ROT position. Finally I got around to posting a Mum!

    I figured you must’ve photographed some mums in addition to the rose. The fractalius glow and the webbing in the foreground are very effective. Great autumn colors.

    Dennis, Thanks, I was in the mood for autumn colors since it’s been so cool and breezy here. You are right, there is no way I could have walked away from the mums with out at least one shot!

    Wow, beautiful photo, Denise. (I liked your earlier rose post, as well.) I have some mums just now starting to open in the back yard and I’m looking forward to a few hours with them in the next day or two. Your photos are always an inspiration to me! May I ask what Canon camera you are using? (I’m aching for an upgrade from my 40D.)

    Thank you Andrea that is very kind to hear, I used the 40D for a couple of years and loved it. I have the Canon 1D Mark III that I bought after I sold my 40D. I also still have my 5D full frame sensor that I use for most of my flower shots since I hand hold many of them it is a lighter weight than the Mark III. The 5D I also use at places like ESP with my 24-105mm lens or with my fisheye lens. I also use it for most of my landscapes. I love both of my cameras and I am very happy with their performance.
