  Lovely! Love the colors and the composition especially, and the clarity.
What do you mean by "painted in Photoshop?"

  Thanks so much everyone! Anita - I used my Photoshop brush tool and smudge tool to paint the original photo. It takes a considerable amount of time - because each pixel in the photo has to be "touched" in some way to make the final painting look its best -- if you have questions about technique, please email me - I'll tell you more :o)

  WoW Judy, another one of your master pieces. You are a class apart. Your whole gallery is full of wonderful pictures. I shot the same flower but you can tell the difference.
