This is a collaboration with LynEve. I took photos of a lily opening every 10 minutes for a couple of hours to show it opening. I've certainly learned a lot while working on this - about masking, layers, patience.... I'm still stumped by transparency and how that affects the color so if anyone has advice on that I'd love to hear it! I think together we've done about 100 versions. Hope you enjoy the one we finally ended up choosing! This would be in the manipulation category I assume.

That's a lot of work, you two, and it came out looking good! I like the concept, and to accomplish it in a still is quite the feat!
Good luck to the two of you on this beautiful collaboration.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Beautiful, wonderful editing.
Well done guys :)

Yes, I do envy you those hours and hours of hands-on practice in masking and overlaying. How I wish I could be at your knowledge level without doing the work!
Neat picture, very creative. It's fun to see the colors changing as well as the placement of the petals.

OMG this is fantastic! Very very creative, and what a great joint project. I've been learning a lot about layers, masking and stuff this year too - but transparency? I haven't come across that. No real suggestions for improvement, but maybe one idea. Do a very sharp layer (maybe 200% in unsharp mask), mask it and then 'paint in' just the edges of the nearest petals and adjust the opacity until they look sharp but natural. Sometimes I find doing that gives a lot of depth. Terrific work ladies, 10/10 for this one.

Got this in the VB and couldn't wait to see who the creative force was behind it! If this is just the beginning of this learning curve, I can only imagine where it will take you. Wonderful piece Hilda and LynEve!
