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!
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.)
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".

Maureen, that's a beauty. Great application of filters.........................nice find! The center of the flower brings my eye right into the action.
