~Catch-All~

These are roses from my garden. I wanted to give them a vintage look so I converted to sepia, did selective coloring, and added some brush strokes to give it an artistic look. Let me know what you think. :-)

  This is so pretty, Cheryl. I love the colors you chose, and the background effects are so nicely presented. The darker vignette corners really allow the viewer to concentrate on the arrangement. Lovely in all respects!

  Really stunning work. I love vintage effects and I think you did an incredible job. I use a Vintage Action in photoshop, then embellish. I'll be happy to share if you want to email me offline.

  Thank you so much everyone, this is one of my favorite photos. It's special to me because the roses in the photo are from my garden. I also love the vintage look. This photo took lots of work, but I really liked the final outcome. My bedroom has a vintage look to it and this photo matches the colors perfectly. I have a print ordered to frame and hang on my bedroom wall.

  Thank you, Kimber! Actually both, the background was originally trees, then I added more texture with PS brushes.
