Typhoon Gerber

Sony A77II - Illustration Mode
Minolta 200mm macro
ISO 400, 1/13 sec @ f22
Was playing around in our garden today with the Gerbers and took several shots in Illustration and Watercolor modes. I added a twirl and some oil paint. I think this is the direction of a typhoon. Hurricanes spin the other direction. All comments welcome. >=))>

Really like this! Very creative and marvelous colours.
Love gerberas!

Welcome Bill. I also have a love for the illustration mode, but unfortunately not many others agree. It seems they are too normal for PA, but the manipulation eliminates them from being considered “straight” in the general categories. Maybe we can start an “illustration mode” category!

The addition of the swirl brings the image into the PA category nicely with a huge impact. Hope to see more of your images over here again.

Wonderful spin on the circular gerberas. I might eliminate the green part in the URC. I like the outlines and the swirl.

Very good twirl effect there Bill. Just the right amount!

Very cool, Bill. I like this a lot.
