February Assignment: Love or Romance

[brad]

Not trying to steal thunder from the "Kiss" thread...

February's theme is Love or Romance.

If you are in Austin, the garden center at 360/ bee caves swaps out their usual pink plastic flamingos for large, red, plastic hearts. Makes for a good shot ;)

[brad]

That first one is sweet, janet.. (sorry, had to be done).. Love the diagonal..

Not sure about the second one.. but I'm not fond of faded flowers.

[janetg]

Much better, Janet... I like that one.

Gordon.. that's cool, gotta be photoshopped, though, right?

Photoshopped - yes - but probably a whole lot less than you think.

Did a brown toned B&W convert, and punched a mask through to the original leaf, then just boosted the saturation a bit on the leaf. The colours are essentially as shot - just enhanced. The reason I shot it in the first place was the red colour in the leaf.

Its Valentine's Day, so I wanted to bump the assignment for February... remember Love or Romance and post your favorite shot.

Whoa!

Almost missed this one, which will also be my first entry for this.

Natures Affection.

Love the parrots, Vance... can't think of anything I would change.

Sef.. good, classic rose arrangement photo.. might crop it to show less of the red ones, but overall its pretty good.
