Kathy, I think this is lovely. The petals seem a bit overexposed but in this case for me anyway I like the way it turned out. the petals are lovely in their pink! ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=
Fine shot of this beautiful rose. Looks like you may have used a bloom enhancement on the photo which gives it that overexposed look to some. The softening effect is pleasing to the eye too though.
It's cool looking manipulation, but if your intentions were a realistic looking flower...its not really real looking. Either way I like it for what it is!
