    I took this image at Longwood Gardens yesterday. I added several round of the pinch filter and then a twirl.

    Denise,just enough texture and twirl to create a soft,flowing image.I like the location of the flowers center with the lines leading you to it.
    The small amount of color is set off nicely. Creatve and pleasing...

    Denise, that's one of the best flower images I've ever seen! I just love the way you pulled in the center and then added that subtle twirl. Sweet!! Print it, frame it, hang it on the wall. :)

    Sexy. Elegant. Beautiful. I love the sharp focus on the center that falls off rapidly.

    Denise, it's definitely one of my favorites of yours (of many:)). Gorgeous lines and composition and I really like the slight texture in the petals.
