Rob, I am more than happy to have c & c, as I see it as an essential part of the learning curve. Otherwise we'd all still be floundering around in caves, eh. :) I do need to bone up on sharpening skills. I recently bought Colin's recommendation, the Fraser/Schewe book, but have not had a chance to spend quality time with it.Quote:

Just for a change from roses (they are beautiful, I admit, but we can't grow them really well in the tropics), here is a tropical vine from Papua New Guinea called Mucuna Benettii, or Flame of the Forest. It is a massive liana that grows up inside the canopy of rainforest giants. You often can't see it from afar and have to be under the canopy and looking up to see literally hundreds of these huge racemes that hang like massive bright red lanterns from the underside of the host tree. It is a true tropical and, in Australia is rare south of Cairns.

I've been going through old photos and my first attempts at the japanese anemone weren't quite as bad as I had felt at first. I don't know if they have that magical "zing" to them but I like them well enough. C&C, please?

20th November 2010, 04:11 PMKaty NoelleRe: Fading roseRaylee, I've been loving your roses! Here's one that's even further along (but not "grunge", I think. :)) The only thing is, I wonder if I have the highlights in the wrong place?Quote:

Maybe this one is better.

The trouble is, I'm thrilled with the bunch of photos that I took when they're together but not so charmed when they're on their own.
Here they are on flickr if anyone is atall interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/5091425...n/photostream/ -

Katy, I think these are very nice. They would look lovely textured, and you could bring out some of the highlights, where you want them.

:o Oh, thank you. Here's a link to some roses I "antiqued" --
I'm going to finally break down and take an online community college PS class -- there's so much to know (and so much I don't know), and the difference between someone who's skilled and someone who's not (me) is so obvious . . . -

Personally, I enjoy seeing this kind of presentation and I think your shots would look great arranged this way because I think they look great alone.
I think it would even make for a nice print if you were so inclined. -
