The Black Orchid is a 1959 American film drama starring Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn. An aging widower fights family disapproval when he falls in love with a gangster's widow. Directed by Martin Ritt - it won some awards at the Venice Film Festival but generally not a big hit in the United States. The director was responsible for other big hit movies though such as Hud (1963) and Norma Rae (1979). I did this with an orchid photo of mine and changed the color in the orchids and added a star filter from SPE. Another entry for the SNATM theme.

By changing the color you have made it look natural. Good one Kathy.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The star filter effect really makes it looks like a poster for the movie Kathy.
Excellent work and photo. Perfect for SNATM👍👍

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

For a brief moment I had this title confused with The Black Dahlia:)...quite a different story...perfect portrayal of this movie title and I too like the addition of the stars...super submission!
