Comment from Melyuki


Hi there and thank you so much for sharing this amazing transition of the sunflowers.. I absolutely love the outcome you have achieved.. I have no idea how you have done this, but your technical skill in the transformation has worked outstandingly.
The presentation of the before photo is a great example of what the eye actually sees in reality.. and then the magic begins. with know how and knowledge and the right software you have created a masterpiece. .. The golden circle which houses the flowers sets the scene and the reflections inside the ball of golden hue really offer a wonderful feeling of depth and great textural value has been achieved with the addition of lighting in the right places to accentuate the petals on the blooms. The darker shading on the left of the bubble offers great contrast and good eye appeal.. I love the curved line of hue that winds its way through the ball, and the curve on the outside of the ball almost looks like a handle in my mind's eye. cleverly placed with great visual effect. The green foliage is nicely placed amid the blooms and the fern shaped foliage at the base of the ball provides perfect balance and nice contrasting tones against the golden hues. The ring of colour at the very base of the ball is a nice inclusion. it offers a stylish feeling to the whole image. and the dark rim around its circumference works well. The varying feathery shapes on both the left and right of the ball are nicely placed giving excellent balance and again add to that very stylish appeal. their colours are well chosen, complimenting the hues seen on the blooms.. an excellent addition to your creation. and the mirrored image of the fern shaped foliage seen on the top of the ball softens the upper section of the ball itself nicely. Love the background tones. it blends perfectly with the mixture of colours seen in the central part of the scene. It truly compliments the setting and finishes this picture off perfectly, creating a lovely border.. I highly commend your work of art .. its gorgeous and emanates a feeling of delight and harmony. Thank you for sharing your amazing transformation. I would love to learn how to transform photos and you have really inspired me to delve into the idea.. fabulous job and an absolutely beautiful treat for the eyes and a joy to review. best wishes in the contest. cheers mel

I am convinced you can make anything hopeless look so amazing and elegant.
Love the earth tone gold, yellow, Amber and greens. Placing the flowers inside this circular sphere was clever and classy. Love the inner glow lighting th flowers up.
Nice work!
Best of luck:)

The photographer did truly prove their ability to make something beautiful out of a very plain photo. You can still see the three flowers, but what has been added is impressive. Very well done!!!!

Comment from alaskapat


Wow! The first photo shows the sunny yellow flowers in a vase with some distractions in background, the focus and clarity are good, the exposure allows the natural colors and tones and the flowers draw the eye, but the viewer is distracted by objects surrounding it, the after photo is a beautiful work of art that one would proudly frame and hang on the wall, it's amazing to view! Best to you in the contest!

Very nice transition to the new image. I like what you have done to create a beautiful flower globe on a strong background. Good color and light choices. I am not familiar with that filter, may need to check it out.

Nicely done, and you did a super work on a photo that would have long ago been deleted by most. I really like what you did, super creativity, well deserving for high reconnection if not a winner of the contest, all the best.
