Congratulations! This is the Digital Creations Forum image of the week for the week ending 11/07/2008.

I found this low DOF photo and added some diffusion to it for this effect. I hope you like it!

the diffusion effect is very flattering to this image. i also like the monochromatic color concept

the comp with the curve works well too.
a nice reworking...

Nice lush green and really like how this fern enters the frame.

Kari, I DO like it!! The fronds look almost frosty, the angle of view is pleasing, and as mentioned, the monochromatic aspect works very well. It is very pleasant to just sit here and look at it-sort of peaceful-like.

Kari - congrats on the IOW. What is diffusion and how do you add it? I'd like to give it a try.

Hey Steve,
Just use the "Diffuse Glow" filter in Photoshop, and play around with the settings until you get an effect you like!
