This is best looked at full size. I had taken this photo last year and liked the flower a lot but I just decided to give it a bit of elegance with some special effects in Paint Shop. I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to give a comment.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Verena - The textured treatment is terrific. Your framing color picks up the color of the flower center beautifully. Well done! Thad

Another beautiful work of art, Verena. I kinda looks like a design in a plaster wall or ceiling. Very nice.

Aptly titled, it does exude a lovely elegance. I enjoy the artistic painted effects you used. As well as the isolated close composition. It emphasizes the detail and curves so well. Saved.

Nice effects and layering of the petals in this shot Verena. A nice close-up capture of the bloom and a lovely frame. A good job.

Elegant indeed and pure splendor! The effects give this bloom a beautiful painted look that I'm enjoying very much! And, your lovely framing adds more punch to the soft yellow center of the bloom! I do hope you choose to paint this beauty for real :) Excellent work, Verena! Faved + saved to enjoy longer :)
