Pine Street Floral [Photography Contest Monthly Theme Pictures]
Uploaded: November 14, 2007 18:19:36
Image of a shop on Pine Street in Philadelphia. Buzzed, added saturation (Flaming Pear Kyoto Color), some cloning and painting and added 18 floral images from my files. One of the floral images was taken with my Fuji S7000 the rest with the Nikon. The original edit of the image sans buzz and added flowers follows.

this is really fabulous robert...i love it #6047622Colleen Farrell June 11, 2008
Wow, Robert, I'm so impressed! I saw this in Digital Darkroom and have been studying it for awhile (I think I counted all 18 new flowers, lol). What a transformation! I'm learning about masking/compositing in PS and *hope* to be able to achieve results like this one of these days. Beautifully done! #6047648Super job. What beautiful colors. How much time would you estimate it took you to make all of your edits on the original image? Did you share it with the shop owner? They might want to think about adding some flowers to those vases after seeing what you were able to do with your photo! #6053188

Hi Robert,this is a wonderful photo... I love the quality that an image projects when the Buzz filter is used. I do have flaming pear filters, but would love to use the Kyoto color as well. Can't find it. Can you tell me which filter holds this color?
Thank you

THanks Cathy, Colleen, Jeffrey and Estelle. I appreciate your kind words very much.Jeffrey: I started this and got waylayed by other pieces and went back to it again after about a month. It took some time but I am not sure the amount. I have not done a print of it yet and may over the summer. Thx.
Estelle: Kyoto Color is FREE! It is part freebie pack and can be found under products, Goodies and Freebies at the bottom of the product page. Enjoy and thx! #6056944
