I added the glow 100 preset in Fractalius to this Dogwood bloom.

Nice image and application, Denise.

This Fract. I can appreciate more! ;)

Like the lighting and BG.

Denise - love those petals...they look as if they are dancing :) The dark BG really sets this off nicely.
Best,
Nicki

Luscious. (I had to spell check that one :() Love the light, the colors, and the BKGR. Was the petal on the center right farther from the camera? (The veins in that petal are more softly focused than the veins in the other petals...) Care to share the ORIG?

Thanks folks, I appreciate the comments.
Artie, The far right petal was softer than the others. Will have to go onto my other computer for the orig. Hopefully later today.:)

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks. I was wondering if the main reason was that it was farther away or ???

[Arthur Morris]

Was the flower from a tree by your home?

Yes, It's the far petal.:)
From a tree at Longwood Gardens

Thanks for the info. No wonder you like that place :)

Very beautiful, Denise. Love the graceful curves of the petals, the glowing look from the frac, and the dark BG setting it all off perfectly. Well done. :)
