This is an experiment with some different techniques in finishing and the last(for now) in my orchid series. I appreciate all the great comments I've received and would like honest comments on the techniques in this one. Thanks, Kathy

Another dark glasses job, Kathy! The soft focus round the edges really does give it a dreamy feel. Brilliant work.

Wonderful shot again Kathy! But I think less lilac or magenta in the colors efect, another color, necessary make experiences, would be better. Even so it´s another jewel and thank you very much for all these pleasent moments you share!CONGRATULATIONS!
