Photo Art Friday with Macros

I should be getting ready for our trip to NY, but I just had to see if I could meet Bonnie's Photo Art Friday challenge first: share a macro image with any kind of chosen manipulation.  Like Bonnie, I chose three macro floral images to layer and blend, but I also added the "watercolor" artistic filter in PSE.  Finally, I brightened the image with RadLab's "Lights On."


Below are the images I used:

Great blending of the flowers (same idea that many of us had) - I especially like the ghost image of the pink flower - those petals really add interest. Happy PPF

Wow the flowers in the raw are gorgeous, took oodles of photos when we went away this last weekend, will fix them and use soon on my many meme's. Have a nice time in NYC

I'm a big fan of macro photography. Each individual photo you selected are bold and vibrant. The overlays in two are great! I gather the yellow flower proved a bit of a challenge. Had the orientation been the same as the other two, the result would have been spectacular. My humble two cents.

Safe travels.
