Ha, ha..............flattery will get you everywhere Güni :-))

Seriously though, I'm really pleased you like this one so much, I took quite a bit of care setting it all up.

Thank you so much for your delightful comments..........always appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your day..............best wishes, Keith.

Wonderful still life witha lovely tone of colours.
Well done Keith.

Thank you very much Jaap...........I'm very pleased you like it.

Pink is beautiful! :-)

I thought so! Many thanks Stephan!

Very effective Keith. How did you create the almost painted look? The subject of the photo also appears textured. Very cleverly produced.

Thank you so much Ed........glad you like it.

In answer to your question.........I use a software program called ON1 to process my RAW photos. It has an Effect called Dynamic Contrast and within that is a Surreal setting...........this exaggerates the contrast and structure. I just dial that exaggeration back using the Opacity slider until I like the look. The effect is helped by my background which has a textured look to it. I also use F11 for max sharpness which also helps (and as I use a tripod, with a 12sec delay on the shutter, the longer shutter speed doesn't matter). Hope that helps :-))

Natural intelligence. I Love.

Thank you kind sir.......much appreciated.

hopefully the flowers didn't drown in the syrup ::: but knowing you, you will have drunk the syrup

Ha, ha.............the syrup probably wouldn't be any good for the flowers, but they were thrown away after I got the shot. I didn't drink the syrup either.........that went down he drain :-))

Ich habe auch das gleiche Programm ON1 Photo RAW lieber Keith,hab es unten gelesen,es ist ja ein ganz tolles Programm,habe mal mit Luninar 2018 angefangen,aber Skylum hat das Programm damals nie richtig beendet,da bin ich dann 2020 auf ON1 gekommen und bin begeistert,ich fotografiere ja nur in RAW und bei meinen Makros hilft mir jetzt die neue Maskierung total,sie haben dieses Programm immer weiter entwickelt :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))
