Week 9

As hard as it was for me to really wrap my head around the whole GIMP program.. I actually have been playing around with it  a bit more and just may actually be starting to enjoy working with the tools and techniques it has to offer! :)

My original photo :

My second photo I used the dodge and burn tool to lighten up the stem of the flower. I then used the blur tool to give the image a softer feel.

 My third photo I use the Gaussian Blur with the soft glow filter then I kept playing with the image and gave it a rippling filter which gave it a funny look..lol.. kinda like the flower is near or in water. I then adjusted the color balance with the midtones being 25 for Cyan -33 for Green and blue was a level of 57... I think it came out pretty cool :)
