Not really sure what went on with this one, I was just going to do a simple photo enhance in photoshop, but I ended up adding more.
Took the original photo today in my backyard.

V2?

looks like you just reduced noise on it then left a few areas sharp then raised the contrasgt on them, not a fan. sry.

maybe if you kept the hand blurry/reduced noise and kept more focus on the rose by sharpening it and what not. i dunno, to each there own.

Did you brush in random spots with black or are those the original shadows?

Those are the original shadows. I didn't reduce noise.

ok, i only said that cause the hand lacked detail and looked quite pail.

*Added V2 and original.* I guess those aren't so much shadows as they were just the bottom of the leaves.

I decided to make most of the leaves just pure red for dramatic effect.

It is really an odd sight as so many areas are in or out of focus... Sharp bits blurred bits, I don't actually focus on the rose as a whole I notice one leaf...

Hmm its a tough choice for which I like more, I like some aspects of each...

I like it.

The original is pretty nice, too.

i really liked the original so i made this sig, i'm not trying to hijack your thread so if you want me to take this off i will, consider it flattery though.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but crack up at GTAF's post.

It was a nice concept, just bad execution.

GOOD JOB!
