Palm Tree Seeds


While in the FL Keys at the end of last year, I photographed the beautiful red-orange seeds of some palm trees.





Using Photoshop, I played with the image, cropping it and posterizing it and adding the artistic watercolor filter to adjust the shadows and textures



Then I tried the Sumie stroke


 and finally adjusting the color for more warmth


It's my Mandarin Orange Monday submission!

I enjoyed seeing the development of your seed photograph into a vibrant work of art! Of course I like the last one best - I love the colour and the use of line for emphasis. Thank you for sharing it on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
