Re: Psychedelic geranium

I like it .....but ;o)

I would prefer to see it without the overlaid image (lines) - also I like the pastel look ( you knew I was going to say that;O)) but I think the center of the flower needs to be sharper so your eye leads straight to that then leads out towards the pastel / soft focus of the pedals ... Some more work and I think it could be a cracker ...saying that other my love it just as it is ;o)

Re: Psychedelic geranium

Thanks for the comments Ian.
The lines are the psychedelic bit - it is a psychedelic layer inserted between the original image and a duplicate of that set to Screen Blend with opacity lowered a bit - can't remember the exact setting. Without the layer it wont be psychedelic!!
I will have a look at sharpening up the centre as suggested.
Thanks again
