"HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE"

Decided to do some work on a image I captured while at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, MO while visiting my brother in May 2015.

Did the work using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 using layers. Wanted to bring out more detail and brighten up the blossom, then on the base layer I toned down the Saturation on the background. Then using iPiccy.com to make it smaller.

Hope you like the results. Thank You in Advance for you Comments and Friendship in Advance.

Happy Friday & enjoy your day,

Skates

I reminds me of a head of cabbage Skates. It must be lunch time.
A good Friday to you as well.

I too thought of the cabbage that Tick mentioned. One could make some crazy-looking Sauerkraut with this version. Happy FF, Pat.

An Iris is so frilly and delicate looking. The varieties are abundant and I never tire of looking at them. They say Spring and Summer with enthusiasm and how I wish for those warmer times. This is a wonderful mauvish purple one Pat. Nice work.
