September #One Four Challenge – Week 4 – Gardenia
Opalescent Gardenia 2015©photography by Isadora DeLaVega
In this 4th week of this challenge, I took the original photo :
I cropped the gardenia closer to have in fill the entire frame
and to create a macro effect.
I highlighted the gardenia to draw the eye to the center.
I sharpened the image by 15%.
I added clarity by 20%.
I tried the HDR for effect by making the radius 50% and the intensity 200%.
The final effect is Plumbe with a 40% fade.
I signed it and posted.
Enjoy …
Isadora

My favourite is your Sepia edit. I love its softness. This week’s interpretation looks a bit too gritty for such a delicate flower. But that’s just me. It is always good to experiment with different effects.

I thought the sepia edit created a very soft feel to the gardenia, as well. I have to agree with you. The softness of the gardenia was lost in this weeks edit. I wanted it to look more like a painting but it doesn’t. I think I played around with it too much. I like that though. It shows a learning process. Thank you for visiting and leaving your very constructive comment. I appreciate it.

The slight moire pattern, is that part of one of the settings you used, its a subtle texturing.

There were several effects I did to create the moire effect. I think the original had a bit of glitter
because the photo was taken right after a rainfall. The petals had moisture on them.
Try the methoed I described and see if it works. Good Luck !!!!

My favourite isn’t in the poll – the macro effect, the one I least like is the black and white, what about you?

OOpppsss …. my 1st poll and I mess it up. The macro is on the slide show. Opalescent is the macro.
I may fix it when I get back from the movies. My friend and I are going to see Grandma; her choice. It didn’t sound that good. BUT, one never knows. LOL
I like the original the best. I think the b&w is a bit harsh for such a delicate flower. I agree with your. Thanks, Gilly.
Toodles,
