This tulip (which the deer were kind enough not eat.. YAY!!) was also done using the Orton Effect.
Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)

@badala: Thanks badala!! I'm telling you, the Orton Effect is really great to work with!! ;-)
I happened to be using a lot this effect, but I didn't it had this name. The picture is really great, not only for the effect, but because of the sunlight striking on the petals and the selective focus used. I've also enjoyed the rest of your pictures! Congrats! (btw, thanks for your comment).
20 Jun 2007 12:50pm
well, I was testing it out and the effect I was using is similar but not the same. Anyway, this is cool! Thanks!
