    I used Topaz Adjust, Nik glamour glow and then Topaz Detail... I think! I should have written it down.

    Judy, this is sweet! I see it took you about a day to get dialed in with the 7D. This is just great all around. The combination of detail and glow is perfect for me. Very nice!

    Wonderful composition, Judy. Agree with Kerry, this looks great all around. I love the defused light and the water drops on the petal. Excellent work.

    Judy, This is lovely. I like the way the pod is just peeking out from behind a petal. It makes you want to see more. Nice work with the filters!

    Thanks Kerry! I'm starting to get a handle on it for flowers anyway. Still working on birds...

    Very nice image and application, Judy.

    Nice detail and colors.

    You can find your steps in the history pull down in PS. It's on the right side of the screen and records all your steps ... as long as you don't save in between, before you finish!!!!! If you save, it deletes the history and starts over! I've been there and done that! Real Bummer!!!

    Thanks for the comment and the information Mark. I had read about history but never used it so I'll look for it.

    Very lovely Judy, I too love how the center of the flower is just visible behind the petals. Very well done!

    Judy....I like the softness of the flower and the way the bg is diffused behind the flower into a glow.It also has a nice overall sharpness!

    Love the color combo and the sweet background. Images like this by John Shaw and Rod Plank inspired me early on and I emulated their style in an Avian way.
