Purple Chihuly Chandelier

This is a combination of 4 photographs in hdr. I used the detail enhancement mode to emphasize the contrast.
I used two layers of selective color masks to change parts of the hues more purple.
Finally I added a flat purple color layer, at 100% opacity, blended with "soft light".

Oh this is fun! a quick glance at your image in thumbnail, above mine on my home makes me think of two beautiful complementary flower macros. But yours is a beautiful flower of a most fantastic variety and rare, too. Love this artist's work.

sorry, i haven't taken a lot of pics since june - it's been raining a lot here until a couple weekends ago. but i did go to san antonio, so some of those pics are up. just haven't seen a lot worth taking pics of lately. St. Louis is much more interesting.

I've been to see Chiluly's glassworks at the St.Louis, Botantical Gardens. Truly a Dazzling experience to see! I have some photos of the Exhibit in one of my albums too. Lovely shots!
