Just an exercise of using HDR for this imagine type.
I'm grateful for your sincere feedback.
The first flower is treated also by using a slight Orton effect. The second is pure HDR with Topaz filter adjustment.

I am not so sure Ed. I have also tried HDR on flowers but never posted them because I wasn't satisfied with the result. In my opinion, for flowers the best editing is normal condition or at the most a soft appearance.
Ed - I like the post-photos treatment effects of both flowers, but prefer the background in the left photo. That said, which Topaz plugin with which adjustment did you use on the right photo? Thad
