Nik Photo Stylizer applied first followed by a gentle texture and white vignette blur.

Barbara, Beautiful finished look here. I love what you did with the filter and the texture. Was the texture an overlay? I really like the ethereal look to the image. A truly lovely image-very well done.

[Barbara Kile]

Yes, in this case it was a texture overlay, but painted quite a bit off the flower, as I wanted a color background against the white flowers, and the vignette provided a way to tone down the green.

Thanks!

The BG looks very soft and appealing.

Barbara,

Really like the color and feel of this floral. It's soft but sharp at the same time.
Thanks for sharing...

I also think it's a lovely image. The overlay really adds a special feel and quality here while the flower remains the center of attention. Very nicely done!

Barbara, it's a lovely image and beautifully presented.

[Patti Edens]

Barbara,

Your image is beautifully composed and the treatment is very nicely done. I love the softness in the background and the sharp, clear flowers.

[Barbara Kile]

Thanks everyone! This one got shuffled a bit, but thanks to everyone who commented.

Fabulous! Just love the colors, how the flower pops out of the textured BG, the details. Well done. Can't think of how to improve it. (Where did it get moved to?)
