Working 'Lightroom' now, are we!...That one is for intelek...interllecti...int....brainy sods!... hehe!..

Love it..honest...would I lie to you eh!..

Really fine work, thanks to Randolph!....

You pulled this off nicely Patti, I think it offers a unique posting. =^..^= sandi ♪

Hey now, that's dandy!! Such an interesting & intriguing bloom too!! Luv the yellowy sepia feel as it has an old-world charm about it!!

~claps~

THis realy is a good picture. Very clear on the little things they have a special name for, but I can't remember it :). You're a pro studiophotographer now with lightroom ;). enjoy it!

Luverly.

i like black and white/sepia toned flowers, they do look arty and antiquey (did i spell that right?) some nice detail going on here and i like the framing too.

A kitchen table, a black sweatshirt, and a flashlight works for me. Well, I take that back, it doesn't work that well. But it's all I can come up with at the present time. LOL. This is really nice, Patti. I love the antique look. Very well done.

So delicate looking...Marvellous work!!

Just marvellous!

It is nicely done,very nice flower and color,the picture is very good.

Patti, I do like it. It takes me into a nostalgic '50s artwork frame of mind. The detail behind that gold is gold itself.

I do not know why but "wedding" popped into my head when I saw this.
It is exquisite!

You did good with this one. I saw Randy's recent shots also. Well done Patti.

Very nicely done Patti. I love that old wolrd charm you gave it. Lightroom huh.....Hmmmmm. Just thinking...in case you heard some gears grinding.

I`ve been liking Randys old flowers as well and this is another cracker. Lovely soft focus and it looks beautiful. Well done Patti!

Ian :)

Must be taken before you was born Patti, lol.
Perfect work!
Regards, Cornelius.

The focus is exactly on the pistils. What a delicate work, Patti :-)

Delicate looking flower..Lovely work,Patti.

Copycat Patti!..lol..But I love it! Gorgeous piece of work my friend!

Really a wonderful antique look to this posting Patti. Excellent job.

Ohhh that's a fav. I really like that Patti. Woohoo !! :)

~excuse me~

But, I’d like to say sumpin’ more about this special piece.

To me, THIS is what Caedes is all about!! Sharing and learning from each other!! I’ve learned sooo much from everyone here and always apply that when workin’ on my own stuff. Patti has been enjoyin’ what I’ve been doin’ and came up with a grand image of her own to play with and HAVE FUN with, like I did!!

Thanks Patti for the mention and for being open-minded and having fun…that’s what it’s all about; enjoyin’ the time, place and yourself!! Always watchin’, learning and sharing what you’ve came up with!!

I can’t wait to see another with this technique from you…I know ya got’s another, don’t’cha??

Again, a fantastical flora with a sense of old-world and leaves the viewers imagination open to its true colorations which holds the person just a second longer to contemplate the piece and meaning!!

Firstly, it is a really good image of a lovely flower. As Pierre says the focus is perfect. Secondly, your post-editing is really good. It gives a new perspective on an old subject.

This is beautiful! Just had it in the VB and gave it a 10.

Fantastic image with wonderful color and magnificent details!
Hope to get this beauty in the VB and be able to give it a 10!!

You did a perfect job on this! It is breathtaking!

I like Pierre's comment about the pistils - I learnt a new word! Like the effect on this Patti and, as Pierre says, the selective focus and softness. It's a different take on a foofy.

Beautifully done... great job

Very nicely presented. A little more dof perhaps, but it really works anyway. Good post.

lovely and very elegant....well done:)

Simply gorgeous! The flower is perfect for the antique look. Good job.

gorgeous shot! i think i'll frame it!
Thanks for sharing!
