Hi Maureen;
Nice presentation, Young Lady.
Very striking with black BG
Keep smiling

Beautifully done, Maureen!
Nice Maureen! I like the black BG and the way you processed the bloom. One option would be to include a stem that enters the frame at the bottom to kin of ground the image-but it is still lovely as presented and that pale mocha color has me wanting a cup of coffee!!
I love the colors in the bloom and the black background really sets it off. Very nice processing on the flower!
Very pretty Maureen, I like the black background and creamy color! I love how the blossoms make a nice triangle. Of course I'm fond of the PB filter, it makes the flowers so extra-creamy.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I really appreciate it.
Denise, I will try to include a stem and see what I think. Thanks for the suggestion!
I seem to be saying this alot tonite, very nice effect and composition, the stem would be interesting addition...but as said lovely as presented....
Gorgeous! This is a photo to get lost in. Wonderfully intricate and pleasing curves and shapes. Gorgeous tones. Just love it!!!!
This is so vintage! I can't look at it that I don't think about every grandmother I ever met when I was young. It's so lovely.
I also think a bit of stem at the bottom would be a nice touch, though...it does feel a bit "free floating" here.
Very nicely done, Maureen! Just the right touch and combination of filters.
Thank you for the comments
