Hi Folks;
Captured this Trichocereus Fling Saucer in our garden in season. This beautiful large blossom, about 9' across brings folks ooh'n `n aw`n.
Mostly done in CS5 with a detour to Alien Skin for the pastel effect for the background.
Comments alway welcome and paid attention to.
Keep smiling
Gus

Great colors, great swirls and an eye-popping flower! Is it alien skin that makes those bold stokes in the bkgd? It is the same effect that I liked on your goldfinch.

Thanks Ladies:
Here is the background done withFilter>distort>Twirl at max. Then I took it into Alien Skin & gave it the default pastel with slight adjusments to suit. Yes, same as Lesser Goldfinch.
Lots of fun this OOTB . . . eh! (Canuck speak)

Very nice, Gus. I too like the water color effect... it almost has a touch of Asian art in it. Nicely done!
