I found these today hidden behind a neighbor's porch. As I was working on the photo to try and bring out the beauty I found in the flowers, I kept thinking that the pink border looked so much like the undergarments of old...slipping, I think it used to be called when they showed :)PJ

Well done. good angle. Great cropping. This has a delicate softness factor to it that I kinda like. Cool {:< )

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry D. Thoreau

True Friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.
I think those flowers are blushing! :) They look so pretty with their pink trimmings. A really nice close up, PJ! Good work.

Ah, Glads are one of my favorites. You get such a display from one stem. These are very unique and oh so pretty!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
very intresting color indeed ! Its rare i am seen orange and red but never these! Great job!

This photo appears to have been manipulated -- and this not a criticism. Everyone really likes the result. But could you enlighten us on how you did it -- the glowing edges, the blurred background?

I love this. They are beautiful andthis picture would not look out of place haning on a wall. I think it would brighten up any room. Not being a gardener, I couldn't tell a weed from a rose, so what are these flowers? I love em.

Most people lye asleep and notice nothing around them. Just wake up and see the natural beauty around you. It will blow you away.
Such lovely soft and delicate petals! You've really brought out their beauty. What amazing color. The crop is perfect and they are very appropriately named!

In answer to ghwahl's question: I took the original photo into PhotoShop and made an exact working copy of it. I then used the magnetic lasso tool to crop out the flowers and the leaves from the working copy, leaving them unaltered on their own separate layer. I then went back to the original layer and made another copy of it and used the Gaussian Blur effect to render it blurry so that my neighbor's house with all its conflicitng images wouldn't detract from the flower. The last step I did was to place the cropped flowers on to the blurred background and the resultant "glow" you're seeing is actually the blurred flower behind the unaltered flower. Evidently the Blur effect pushes the image out just a little bit. I wish I had a camera and the knowledge to do that in the field, but instead for now I have PhotoShop and I have to work with the tools I have :)PJ

Very pretty and it has a dreamy feeling to it. I love the name you gave it too! Great colors also, Nice capture. :) How did you learn to do all that in photoshop?

I read your explanation of how you did this and you achieved a beautiful effect, a camera could not have done better. Lovely coloration to this glad and your manipulation allows the natural beauty to shine. Very nice work PJ.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
PJ, this is awesome! I can't believe what you were able to do in Photoshop, it make me REALLY want to learn that program. Ha ha, in my "spare" time. Anyway, this is just gorgeous, I hope I get a chance to vote on it!

These are so 'soft'...to the eyes, probably the touch, but they're gorgeous. Beautifully captured, and taken with such an art :)

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
These are very beautiful .Love the delicateness of them .. Super capture my friend

I can certainly see why the color of the blossom reminded you of petticoats, PJ :) I really like the angle at which you took this shot, and the effect you've chosen, really does bring out the softness of this beauty :)
