Have just come from watching 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. I've always been bored to death by it, so you might say the booby traps were overkill. The difference between that and this, is that hopefully you would be able to pick these lilies without being trundled over by a large stone ball.
The background is a mix of gradients and merged Apophysis fractals. I created the flowers in Paintshop Pro 7... the petals are partly layer style (Photoshop Elements 2) and partly gradient. The gold layer style was by Shelby Kate Schmitz (number 41 from 101 Assorted Layer Style Effects). There are some beautiful layer styles out there, but it frustrates me that I can't make my own as I only have Photoshop Elements. Perhaps one day...
Hi Tootles, Thank you so much for taking the time to view and comment so nicely on Black Pearl Sunset . I really appreciate it, and am so glad you liked it! :)

~ Hi Tootles...thank you for your nice comments on my 'Plumeria Beauty', and I liked your input on 'Orchids & Salvia'...I will try experimenting some more someday on that. That color really is the color of that orchid...it is indeed very bright as seen HERE in an earlier post of the same orchid. Thanks again!
:)
Hello Tootles. I enjoyed reading your comments about “The Moon Sentinel”. Thank you. I have deliberately stayed away from the other reworks of this image so I couldn’t be influenced by any of them. However I hope to peruse your version later tonight :-)
There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

Hi Tottles, many thanks for joining in and following the discussion thread that Noah started. I am so far from being a pro at PhotoShop that I thought this might be an opportunity to learn a few things.
I think it is a fun idea and a fun exercise. Hopefully and collectively we will all learn some new things!!!
Glad you were able to enjoy my rework as well as joining in the fun!!!! It was great seeing all the different versions. :=)
Congratulations on your Honorable Mention in the Oxymoron Contest.
You did 'us' fractologists proud. :'o)
Well done. :o)

What really brings a member to view your work I say the naming of your image I know it does me, the name makes me want to see that image'
Lovely textures and colours, really grabbed my eye!
I have a PC like that; the hard drive failed and the fan was chugging but we got it going again with a new hard drive. It's barely clinging on, but it's been a few years since the crash and it's still going! Best regards to your own PC.
thank you for your comments we found out what took our pc out it was the apophysis software we downloaded so its off from now on, the software never ran right so we should have kown better huh
take care

Hi again
Thank you for your comment on "Deep Space",
always nice to have your comment and is sincerely appreciated.I used some cloud images to create the effect:)
Hey Toots, thanks sooo very much for the super nice words on my 'Artist Spotlight'!! It means the world to me and I sure appreciate the support, encouragement and luv!!
Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
Thanks for the comment on 'Star Flake', it's most appreciated. With regards to your screen size, I am happy to 're-do' the image in other sizes. My screens are both 1280 x 1024, my kids screen is 1024 x 768 and my wife's laptop is 1920 x 1200 and there are many other sizes, so it's tricky to know what size to post.
Hi Tootles...Thanks for your visit to Aqua de Jamaica , and for your wonderful comments! I really appreciate your continued support! Hope all is well with you, my friend :)

Thanks so much for taking the time and for visiting my gallery and complimenting me on ~for you~. Sometimes all of the elements come together and 'magic' does happen in photography!!!
And thank you for your wonderful comments on Mermaid's Tears as well ! That style is different isn't it ? I loved those flowing lines & those soft greens & I'm really glad someone else, like you, did too. Thanks a lot hon for taking the time to stop at it & comment, I really appreciated it. ;-)
I've got amnesia & deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before ! ... That was Zen, but this is Tao !!! ...CLICK TO SAVE LIVES !

Hi Tootles...Thanks ever so much for checking out Surfers Paradise , and for your great comments! I'm so pleased you liked it! Best wishes for a good, good weekend :)
Thanks for the comment. You have some great fractal work, I tried to give fractals a try but didn't have a clue and am puzzled how you guys come up with these shapes and designs. Have a good day.
The easyest way to get a critique out of someone is to think about what they didn't tell you.
