I used one of my favorite wood textures, with some Topaz Simplify to tone it down a bit. Edited with Nik's ColorEfex Pro, and a gentle white vignette blur applied.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful picture

I especially love the slight turn of the flower and the fact that the light 'seems' to be brighter behind it and falls off to the right. Simply lovely...
I don't know how to do any of that stuff but this is loverly. My only concern is that the softly focused side of the flower (on our right) blends a bit too much with the BKGR... You angle into the flower was perfectly chosen.

Simply gorgeous. What more can I say. I really struggle with the soft stuff so it's appreciated more.
Barbara, beautiful! I especially like the fact that it has such a soft look but has so much detail in the flower.:)

Thank you Gus, Julie, Arthur, and Dave. I see what you are referring to, Arthur, and that's perhaps a function of how much texture one chooses to paint off to reveal the subject. A little more painting (at reduced opacity) on that right side could have improved the blending from the flower to the BG. Thanks for the input everyone - always more to think about!
Thanks, Cheryl - we must have been crossing in cyberspace!
I was thinking that you might be able to work in that area.... BTW, YAW.Originally Posted by Barbara Kile

Barbara, This is so pretty! Beautiful soft pink colors and the tone on tone is just great!The comp. is nice also.
such a lucious shade of pink Barbara.. I like your comp and the texture works well here.. I might try to reduce it a bit on the rs to define the petal edges a bit more. A really lovely image :)
Very lovely image, lots of detail...texture rocks...like the way it lightens up as you get to outer edges
I appreciate the feedback. Thank you Art, Cindy, Denise and Paul. I think your suggestion, Cindy, is what Art was referring too, and I agree, would be a great touchup.
This beautiful Barbara. Very soft spoken and a heavenly palette.
Appreciate your comment, Jackie!:)
