Wouldn't you know it, just as I was about to respond the electricity went off :-(!! Fortunately it was only until I got four candles lit (LOL)! We've had rain, thunder and lighting tonight which probably caused the outage. I really appreciate the generous and supportive responses and thank you, Leanne, Milutin, Sanjay, Donna, Carolyn (will do!), Kerby, Paul E., Paul M., Judy, and Dan, very much!! With fond Aloha, Stan

Now this is amazing. I predict this to be a winner. What DD editor did you use?
|

|
|||||||||||
|
Stanley J. Contrades |
Used Photoshop CS and its Liquify filter after doing some cropping adjustments to create the landscape view and a horizontal flip to place the center of the blossom in the lower right corner. Used different brush sizes to create the flames! Then in Virtual Photographer added the Radiant filter to boost the colors. Mahalo plenty, Desiree ... I appreciate it!! Aloha no, Stan
