Note: This is an image overlay consisting of five frames, using a Lensbaby Composer. The base image was slightly under exposed, to create the hazy dreamy effect. Processed in CS4 and final touches done in Corel Painter 11.

Woohoo, Gus, they just keep getting better! You are a master at these!! I'm not sure about the contents of that lower left hand corner - the stem and part of another flower? My eye keeps going there. But that is a small nit overall. :) I love the dreamy look you are achieving.
I'm glad you like it Anita...the small semi transform on the lower left portion of the frame serves as a virtual directional anchoring point which helps give a semi-curved outline to the main stem. :)
