    Hey Maureen,
    I think the flower is awesome loking with the PB ( imay have ot break down and get it!) . I also like the diagonal comp and the ants are well placed throughout the frame and nice job that they are all facing us mostly too! The filters and effects applied work very well here......great job!

    Maureen, Nice job with the filter and the comp. Fun and colorful!

    Roman, PB is free so you don't have to break anything to get it.

    First, that is a cool looking lily! I love the spots. The filter effects work really well and it's a very nice composition.

    Thanks for the comments Roman, Denise, Indranil and Judy.

    Judy - Blackberry Lilies grow like irises and have small but amazing looking flowers. They are readily grown from seed and they can live almost anywhere (I had them in NY and now in FL.)

    Hi Maureen, Very nice job on this! Just enough filter to retain definition...especially in the ants. Good color and even lighting...well handled!

    Maureen,
    Thanks for the info.
    I forgot to add that I think this is a beautiful image. The colors and composition are top shelf.
    The filter effect turned it into a "wall hanger".
