.....taken on the wrong setting ....in fact this image was completely black but because I took the photograph in RAW I was able to bring the image up - I really like the silk effect ...just going on my instincts ...I preferred it to all the photographs of the flowers I took which are sharp and in focus. :)

I wish I was more "in tune" with the effect you have done here. All I know is that I love the effect and the silk look. Beautiful image.

Love it Patti, It is so nicely done even a mistake can turn out to be beautiful. Has a textured look to it that I really like.

It looks like a painting...and a great painting it is!! It's just one of those pleasant surprises. Just think about how many things were created by accident...

Looks like it should be in an art gallery showcase. Excellent work saving the shot. It really looks great.

This is really great Patti, like a botanical drawing. I'd love to know what you did too - whatever it was it's very classy. What a happy accident this is!

I'll tell you - I used the time value setting without flash
- too fast and not enough light lol! but as I took it in RAW I could bring out the picture in Photoshop.
