Photo art friday Hydrangeas by Suzanne Carter

Glad to hook up with Photo Art Friday again this week. The challenge this week was to use the number 3 , I also used one of Bonnies texture backgrounds called 'Dappled Dawn 1'

I added this texture over my image at about 50% opacity and set on difference. I then used a neon filter which gave me a sketch affect and changed the hue, until I got the effect I wanted.

I have so enjoyed looking at the awesome Photo Art that has been submitted to Photo Art Friday this week, I think I was meant to create an abstract image and I didn't oops! I am off to create an abstract and will add in later.

Image with texture. Placemats and Hydrangeas make 3 plus three chairs.

This version I ran through a pixelate filter and adjusted until I was happy with the effect.




Next I ran the image through an HSL filter and selected difference  mode.




Then I put the image through a heat map filter and I still haven't abstracted it,lol!

  4. It may not officially be an abstract, but it's officially creative! I don't have those filters in PSE and I love the effects you were able to achieve. I like the 3rd one - the light/bright one where the hydrangea is the dark focal point but they're all very cool!

  10. What beautiful flowers to begin with. And, so neat to see all the variations. I think my eye leaned toward the 2nd and 3rd ones, but it is all perception. The second is less 2D than the 3rd. Lots of nice texture. Thanks for sharing. Karen
