hi Adam

Sorry but the dots are very distracting, but the sharpness is excellent!

cya

[shuttertalk]

Lol... very unusual treatment, adam...

I love the tack sharp flower though! What settings did you use?

Sorry but the dots are very distracting...

I think the dots are the best part.

[adam]

Without the dots, it won't be a Christmas flower, just anoter boring flower - I thought
haha...
I used

ISO 200
1/40 sec
f/5.6

and in photoshop, I resized it, and burnt the background a bit.
Then added the christmas lights....

I think your flower has an aphid problem!

Radioactive aphids at that!

Hi Adam,

I couldn't work well but the idea is to mix your christmas lights with some christmas spheres you see... I like golden ones... Then play a little with blur and soft focus..

Here you have my try Hope you like it!

[guerito]

Well I had to give it a try too. I thought, why not go the whole distance?

Here it is (sensitive people should use sunglasses, please):

Both of these "remixes" stay faithful to the spirit of the original - I like them both - it's fun to see different interpretations of Adam's already abstract original.

Wowoowowowow! that really has been "fixed me up - photoshop"
Even has those lights in the background, like in the Christmas pictures, where the lights at the back are blurred.

ahhh tired, must go to work soon
