Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens, this morning.
Light was extremely harsh, they don't open till 9:30 AM and by the time you walk back, sun is pretty strong. I used Nik Color Effex Midnight filter and Light Effects in PS, masking the flowers a little bit.

Hi Fabs,
I must say this one works for me on many levels. I think the spotlight effect is very appealing as it centers your interest on the lilly's. Originally, I was thinking of geting rid of some of the left dark area........the more I looked at it.......the more I found it worked as part of the overall composition. Once again you have proven yourself as the artist that you are,

There isn't much to say about this except that it is perfect. I keep opening it, just to take one more look. Thank you for that.
