Much more dramatic! You made it positively glow! It is more artsy and less a recording of nature. Thanks for your input and the time you took to work with it.

I love this - wish I had your eyes. I love the color of these flowers so I would do a little manipulation to pull it out since the photo looks like a mid-day shot with some hot sun on it that washes them out.
But again, this is a great shot (maybe you are just too used to it?). I attached my enhanced version below...

Evelyn, this is a fabulous close up of a flower! Keep on with these and you'll be scooping all the awards soon!
Beatiful detail and colours. You've done a great job of capturing the texture of the flower petals and the detail of the veins is superb. The use of a dark background helps bring the colours to the fore wonderfully! Well done!

I don't think it's odd... I think it's very creative. I like what you have done with mixing the two images. Tara

I work in standard Photoshop and the lighting options are sophisticated but I have not found where you can color tint the light. I do admire how you handle it. Thanks for sharing!!!

Ehhhhhhhhh...golden light??
Hm..
In paint Shop Pro you can work with illumination lights..and I like to use that!! I work in layers...so often I got 2 different lights in the pictures...
I'm not sure that what makes it golden though...got to think about that!!!!
Which program do you use???

Hi Evelyn...
I think that good photos must be showed just as it is...in all it's beauty...
On the other hand...you have a great shot to work with later on. Perhaps one day you'll see what to make of it..and I'm looking forward for that!!
Thanks for sharing this wonder..
Hugs

Thanks Amy! I must be feeling lazy tonight to let it go without paint effects or something! -- as you know I have never posted anything till tonight that actually looks realistic. They were ALL excellent photos to start with ;-D

Hi Fabrizio,
Thanks for your interest and comments. I am not sure how to do the sepia in PhotoShop -- are these the right colors? What do you think?

Clean and sharp. As simple as flowers, as beautiful as them. I like the leaves in the top right corner, passing through two flowers. I was wondering how this would look like in sepia.

Ev, I like the crackled rose very much, and the round shape is fine - don't like the placemat in the background though. Nice yellow rose, in Texas!  Amy

Ev, when I first saw it I thought the iris was surfacing in a pool of water! The iris in the background look like dreams, or echos. I like the idea... colors here are nice too. Amy

It's really excellent thanks for sharing the secret. I like it round. I might have tried to cut the round out and give it a solid surrounding. Very clever.

Ah well -- the secret to the crackled finish is a double exposure with a picture I took of a plate that had that texture. I liked the round framing of the plate as well as its highlights and shading on the flower pic. It is proving to be a little controversial so I am happy to hear you liked it so well. Thanks!
