Coleus (‘Kong Rose’) (Bloody Mary/Orton Version) (2018-07-23 13-41-39b)
Order Lamiales : Family Lamiaceae : Plectranthus scutellarioides
The plant was photographed in a garden along Wayne Avenue between Rosemant and Granville in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.I took the photograph using a Nikon Coolpix P7700 camera and edited using Luminar 2018. I added the ‘Bloody Mary’ preset from the Dramatic collection and then the Orton Effect filter with some adjustments.

Amazing variety of coleus. I have a few but nothing as stunning as these.
You won’t find coleus that looks like this anywhere. I used an editing trick that turns everything that isn’t a shade of red into black and white.
very beautiful plant, colors are wonderful
Thank you, Branka. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
It doesn’t appeal to everyone but that’s fine. I just wanted to do something different than a straight photo.
Wow I absolutely love this effect Gary!
Thanks, Carol. I like the way it turned out also. Very easy to do.
I need to get that program you use. I keep putting it off.
They are having a sale at the moment. Sometime in the next few months they will be releasing a free update which will include the ability to keep track of your photos. After that comes out, the prices are going to increase. As long as you own it before the update comes out, it will be free.
