Color bursts...


Photo Art Friday ~

For today my best intention was to read a tutorial on texture in photos.  However, I went back to picnik, and played with a few effects with this photo I took SOOC of a pink dahlia (right).











First I added a simple soft border.....then 'puddled' or 'rippled' it for this artsy result:












Then I made a 'waterfall' of pixels and a hypnotic setting for this original  kaleidoscope effect. (Below) For the last one I used black, white and sepia tones and the cross process with color focus at the center for a vintage look:

With the upcoming holiday there will be little time,  but I will have something else to share for that occasion. In the meantime, please visit the other outstanding photos submitted to Pixel Dust Studio this weekend:

    I love your play results! I'm wondering how you accomplished that kaleidoscope effect. my favorite is the cross process and de-saturated photo. it's very rich. thanks for your suggestion about the sepia on that shadow shot. I may play around more with that this afternoon. Happy Sunday to you!

    Isn't it amazing what these photo-editing programs can do with pixels?!!! I love the selections you made especially the last one with the vintage look. So glad you shared these with Photo Art Friday kkkkaty!
