Homage to Van Dongen

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I had so many layers ging on, i can't begin to remeber what I did!
Don't think the colour toning is as good as the first one I posted, but I thought I would try to hone my PS skills.
Comments Appreciated. Thanks!

Jackie, really like this one. So soft and dreamy! I love the way the flower is almost lost in the bg... The vertical pano works for me too.

Jackie, I love the vertical composition and the way you have selected the curve of the petal to fill the frame. Nice white on white look. I see a small,very faint compression? halo on the top edges.
Beautiful work with the theme this week. Your flower images are just fantastic! Would love to see a BPN gallery of them when you get a chance.:)

It took me a moment to really focus in and figure out what I was seeing and then my mind just kind of melted right into it. ;) Beautiful tones in this one and the curve of the petal at the top leads your eye up and over - wonderful stuff!

You're getting this down to a fine art now, Jackie! This is simply beautiful. Wonderfully delicate toning and the lines are to die for:) Kora

Jackie, a beautiful image. I love the softness and the toning. The vertical crop seems to add to the simplicity.
Your images have been outstanding this week:)
