No not the group but this lovely flower, whose name escapes me at the moment. Perhaps someone can name it for me.

Editing done in Adobe Photoshop CS2 using punching up color you can read about it here by Nigel . This thread has made using photoshop more fun and easier to understand.

I put a different twist on it but did it with these directions.

Just what option I did use I'm not sure now as I was messing around and expermenting! I think I used either Linear Burn or Hard Light? :)

Your comments are most appreciated and I hope this is not too dark for you, but I liked the results and hope you do too.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

It's fun to experiment & the results on this flower are quite exquisite. I do love the shades of purple & the lighting is perfect. Outstanding work Sandi.

Great work Tigz and the color is so stately. You are right about Sir Shrek's thread. It is so easy even I can get close to doing it. lol

It's not too dark Sandi and I'm glad you're finding the thread useful. I like the colour in this and the texture in the leaves. The dof means that the centre is out of focus and that's slightly distracting, but the frame has worked and I like the regal purple very much.
