Multiple blossoms, one dominant, the bold and the beautiful

Jim When you flip a scene with lettering in it the next stage is to flip the text back the right way.
I did this once and the scene included the workplace of a friend and he immediately spotted the flip but was puzzled as all hell that the lettering of his business was the right way round :)

Plus it should never have left your computer becuase you back focused and the front of the principle bloom is out of focus. The crop puts it on the bottom third.
really a situation where I think your PP skills have reached a level where you should try some elementary stacking with a sharp front bloom and the leaves just behind ... just two layers to play with as a starting exercise ... about as complicated as I have bothered to try myself and all that is needed here.

ps. played around to see if I could organise a two colour frame like you often have done and worked out how to do it :) Thanks for the prompting :) Would have liked to have picked up the colours from the image but have not got that far in the learning process :)

John, I believe is said I was using them to frame the blossoms. Frames come in all shapes and sizes. Some do indeed have 4 sides but some have none as in a circular frame. Others have three as in a triangular frame. Some are simply shapes as in the clouds framed the moon.

Stacking is nice. But there was too much of a breeze to get two shots to line up even if i had used the auto stacking in the camera.

Glad I wa sable to inspire you with the multiple colour frame idea.

Must be time for the standard "calibrate your monitor" suggestion ;)

Sorry about that, Brian . . .

Someone implied that your pic didn't have a four-sided frame.

Then someone else said that it did.

My post therefore suggested sarcastically that person 1 needs to calibrate their monitor.

Part of the sarcasm is a reference to posts - usually along the lines of "my printed image is different to what's on my screen" - where the first response is so often like "well, (head-wobble), is your monitor calibrated, huh?".

A bit of a stretch, eh?

Not that far. And just to really throw a wrench in the mess It is actually CinC that has a problem with my frames. Everywhere else they are nice one sided one coloured frames.

Brian,

Humour and sarcasm aside the framing of your original posted clearly shows a simple bevel edge of which the top, bottom, left and right sides can clearly be seen to me at different tonal values.

The bottom edge is almost black so image background, viewers eyesight and monitor will have a bearing on how and if each edge is seen.
