Description All Glory Goes to God who has made the way to Heaven accessible for all.

This piece is dedicated to Keith Green. An amazing Singer and Voice of the Lord who outted the wickedness of the Music Industry including "Christian" music. He and his family were dead within a week of that article and the article was removed. He is the greatest Musician of the past 100 years simply because he dedicated his Musical talent to making a ministry. He traveled and often include sermons in his songs and opened the heart with his songs. They weren't cookie cutter songs with no mention of Jesus by name we hear in the "Christian" Music Industry. His words referenced the bible, referenced Jesus, and were used as a message. Each song having a message that we can take to heart even more so today. I believe that his plane went down not due to Pilot Error but due to him and his family being on board and his Ministry being a threat to Satan's hold on the Music Industry including "Christian" Music.

I used an action from 69 Photoshop Action V9 by lieveheersbeestje



Phillipians 4:7

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If you have any questions about Jesus feel encouraged to send me a note. Hate notes though will be ignored, and won't bother me so it'd be a waste of your time.

Taken at the Como Zoo in St. Paul Minnesota September 23rd 2014. Taken with my Nikon Cool Pix L820.

Thank you in advance for all feedback, watches, and favorites. I wish I had the time to thank each and every one of you but the only way I have time to make art and show it is to put the thank yous in the description. I instead find it better suited to try and have conversations with as many of you as I possibly can. If you're a watcher feel free to send me a note with some suggestions for future features. You can send me a few of yours, a few of your friends, or a few of underappreciated artists. I really love to find new underappreciated artists.

Spectacular! Never before have I seen a rose look this beautiful against a rippling water background! It must've been tricky getting everything in frame and focus. Personally, I feel like the petals don't stand out too well due to the water ripples near the bottom being too in focus, but that's just me.

Yeah it was taken a few years ago with the cheapest digital camera I could get. I've switched cameras a few times since then. To be honest I didn't really want the lower petals to stand out as much as I wanted it to really show the flower standing out against the colorful background of water.

That digital camera must've been an incredible bargain because I couldn't tell from this photo that it was cheap.

Actually this was taken with the camera I got after that one now that I realized. It was still only $200.

Yikes...So, it wasn't as cheap as I thought...

Well $200 for a camera with a 1000MM lens is still the best price you can get. A 1000 MM lens for a DSLR will set you back a lot more then this camera as a whole and though it's a 1000MM lens with it being built in though long it's significantly less long then one for a DSLR which would be like 3 feet long and it can focus on things a lot closer.

Almost looks like pop surrealism, like the rose is growing out of the water.  You have a great eye for drama!!

Thank you so much. I originally had the piece in black and white but I am better at editing now so I went with something a little more surrealism style. Sort of reminds me of a sky with a full moon.

Thank you I just wish the rose had been red, yellow, blue or some combo instead of white. Which is the main reason for why this is in black and white.

Thank you. I am in the other half. I don't like black and white photos that aren't extremely emotional photos meaning to show sadness and despair. I only do black and white photos when I feel the colors are so few and far between or that the colors are poor. This is one of the first. The water was dark. Everywhere that is black in the water was pretty much black. The white areas were pretty much white. The flower was white and the leaves were either green or gray. That shade of green and shade of gray always look the same to me. The only part in the water that wasn't black or white is where it's gray now in the dark areas which was dark spring green. Or 2 green for every blue part but dark. I did some cool effects though in Topaz Adjust to get the perfect black and white shades while having the smoothed over look on the rose.

Ah well, it's just a matter of opinion I guess. Gez, that all sounds so complicated.

Nah not really making a bowl of cereal is just as complicated. Mostly had to try effects which take one click until I found one I liked, click a box, and slide two bars all the way over.
