Inspiring Photo: Tulip # 5 #1024811

Tulip # 5

Uploaded: July 12, 2005

Description

I know I had already uploaded four images of this tulip, but as I had already told I love tulips and this one I had prepared for the Digital Darkroom. First I had changed to B&W and then I applied some lighting effects with Photoshop 6.0 to change a little bit the original light and also changed a little bit the brightness (-10) and the contrast (+10). Everybody knows that I love colors but I think that this way is better to see the petals textures and lighting effects.
