Default New to photshop. Just practicing
What do you think. I just took a picture of a dried rose and messed around in photo shop until I got something I liked. What do you think. What else would you do....not do? The photo looks more pink on the website but more red on my computer. Not sure why.

I'm really not a graphics guy, but it looks like something you'd use more in that genre than you would photography. It looks very posterized, too much so for my tastes.

That's exactly what I did to it. It took a photo of a dried rose, photoshopped the stem out and then posterized it. I wasn't going for the "real rose" look. Just trying to learn what I can do with photoshop (I'm a SUPER newbie!!) and I just kinda liked the way it turned out. I guess it's all a matter of taste with this type of photo huh? Thanks for the input.

You also might have uploaded something odd like a gif. Use Jpeg.

There are some "features" of Photoshop that should probably be ignored...
