Challenge: Chaos (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: Local Nursery
Date: Apr 2, 2004
Aperture: f7.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Emotive, Floral
Date Uploaded: Apr 3, 2004

 Used magic wand to select the area between the blossoms and used creative pen to softly blur the background, pulling colors from the blossoms into the area. Added a thin black border.

This is a bit out-there for DPC but I connected to the image as a representation of chaos.

I wish I knew what you had in mind here in terms of how this represents chaos. Very difficult to read especially with the title.

Nice shot, but I'm not sure I'd call this chaos.

Woukd have been a 10 if the colored tinfoil around the pots were not there. I also didn't particularily like the strong yellow flower in the very top right of the frame.

This is really just a beautiful shot. It almost looks like a painting. I think it would make a pretty print. I really don't see any "chaos" here, but I like it anyway.

It's not chaotic... It's beautiful, it's a pastel. Very good composition and blur effect. 7 (I have a problem with the "meeting the challenge")
