“Tangled Coneflower” is the last in the series of 2014 coneflower images stemming from one colorful image I took this past summer. I thought it fitting to include this most current iteration as my submission for MMC Week 41 and then a gallery of the past coneflower images to show how the coneflower evolved over time. The gallery shows past coneflower images from the most current to the oldest…the oldest being the original color image.

Nice to see them all in a group so we can witness the evolution of the image (and the photographer’s vision) – Last image is my favorite – very nice work.
December 9, 2014 at 6:18 am
Glad you enjoyed seeing them together. I’m partial to the last image as well. Thank you.

I love this! This last one is so special. I have enjoyed each of these as they have evolved but this final one…wow. It moves beautifully. So cool to see them all together too.
December 9, 2014 at 8:15 am

December 9, 2014 at 2:30 pm
Glad I caught your eye! O.O Thank you. 🙂
December 9, 2014 at 12:31 pm
That’s a great gallery Laura! The flower lends itself to this processing style so beautifully 🙂
December 9, 2014 at 2:31 pm
I’m glad you like it Sarah! It was a fun flower to work with. Thank you. 🙂
December 9, 2014 at 3:04 pm
I want to do some more experimental art with my dahlia images when I have a bit of time! I do love flowers with that shape and symmetry 🙂
December 10, 2014 at 7:43 am
Oh the dahlia’s would be fun. I could see a double exposure with them too. Subtle ones. I’ve done a few of those too but symmetry is fun!
December 10, 2014 at 10:08 am
I did a wicked edit a little while back with layers that were adjusted using the liquidise tool which let me spread the petals as if it was oil paint 😀 Loved it!! My friend Julia is getting it printed on a giant canvas for her bedroom and wants me to do more, she loves it so much 🙂 She pays me too! She’s one of the musician friends that I work closely with and I think we’re muses for each other 🙂
December 10, 2014 at 10:15 am
That is so cool! I just sold that willow image off my website a few days ago. I was so excited! It was a large print too. That Tangled Coneflower….I took the second one in the gallery and sent it to my ipad and used Tangled FX and then shipped it back to PS and added the blue tone. Editing is such fun.
December 10, 2014 at 2:19 pm
Woohoo 🙂 Congratulations! It does feel great when you get a sale of an image that you really love. Tangled FX isn’t available on Android but I’ve just been looking into a few other app to test out. Had fun using every single option available on Nik Analogue today 😀
December 10, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Thank you Sarah. I love checking out all the options of those apps. It is such fun. While I’m watching TV too lol.
December 11, 2014 at 3:51 am
That’s just what I do 🙂
December 9, 2014 at 6:37 pm
so trippy
December 10, 2014 at 7:48 am
right on
December 10, 2014 at 8:13 pm
Love the sharp details at the center and the smeared surrounding streaks of Tangled Coneflower.
December 11, 2014 at 8:01 am
Thank you! I’m glad you liked the tangled-ness 🙂 It was fun to do.
December 11, 2014 at 3:09 am
beautiful and loved that effect 🙂
December 11, 2014 at 8:37 am
Thank you Joshi 🙂 I’m glad you like the effect!
December 12, 2014 at 8:15 am
Found you through Leanne’s Monochrome Madness…I am in love with your latest Cornflower shot…it moves me and for some reason makes me really happy! lol. Your work is stunning, so pleased to have found you! Blessings, jules
December 12, 2014 at 9:18 am
Oh thank you so much Julia. I’m glad you like it! It was fun to do all of the images but I also like the most recent “tangled” one the best. 🙂
