Extreme Smudged Rose
Uploaded: January 14, 2005 06:47:52
I debated on whether to post this one, it's a bit more extreme than is my style. This actually started out a fake rose in the lower left corner of the image, and I became a little smudge happy with it and it turned out kind of like a work of art, I thought.. I don't know if anyone will like this or not. I just thought it was too neat to delete. Let me know if you like it, hate it, whatever.. Thanks

Thank you Colette, Rob, Tammy and Kathryn for the feedback. I was so worried that no one would embrace this sort of image. I love raw photography, but sometimes it's just fun to play around with effects. Thanks again. #1033362Murry Grigsby January 14, 2005
Terrific abstract image Kara! Love the colors and the flowing design!! But I really like the new buzz line you created, "TOO NEAT TO DELETE" :0) It would make a great bumper sticker for digital photographers (LOL)!! #1033380Kara L. Hendricks January 14, 2005
