I know, I'm sick in the head. I adore cats, of course. I'm part cat, myself.
Let me take this opportunity to thank roz, my best friend in Australia, who is a pioneer in Photoshop and filters and is continuously inspiring me to push the envelope in my photography explorations.
That said - behold the flaming pear flood filter! I've been putting water in every photo all day long. Everything looks better with water! Just kidding, of course. But I did this one (originally shot for the BW side last month) and am fond of the processing. I'm probably blind to the overdone effect, but hey.
talk about awesome .. this is brilliant .. totally love your processing on this .. a great combination of plugs and photoshop thingys .. this is definitely a print worthy image in my opinion .. love the way you've added the flood and your excellent colouring ... the perfectum is giving this a great softening appearance .. :):) xx ...
edit to say .. i posted this comment and then noticed that fantastic understated border ... another perfect touch to a work of art .. :)x
Ordinarily, I don't care too much for pictures that have obviously been post processed to the great beyond, BUT, this one works, I think. I like the smooth metallic finish and the flood fill works here (nice subtle effect on the border). Reminds me of something that could be on a science fiction book cover or soemthing.
I like the colors here very much. Interesting processing, too, which fits the subject well, but with the frame and the water it's (yes) a bit overdone. But as you say, keep pushing the envelope while we can!
