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. :-)

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: NIKON D70

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. #6875373

Cheryl E. Davis December 10, 2008

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. #6875407
