Well it was raining all day yesterday, so to relieve the boredom I took some shots of the SWMBO's birthday flowers. 4 shot pairs showing the originals and pharted shots using a faded fractalius filter. Must admit I prefer the pharted versions but realise these are not to everyone's taste. All full flash focus stacks (the brute force and ignorance approach).
Nice collection Brian - I've only just bothered to install Photoshop CS2 on my new PC, and have also installed fractilus. It's a nifty program that gives some wonderful effects.
It's gives a really nice effect on the last one. I don't think the first 3 photos have enough natural contours and shapes to really get the most out of the effect. I want to try it now though :P
