Description

I am trying something different in the Special Effect category, this is intentional overexposure.. I wanted the outside petals to blend into the white backdrop. I did a little blending to further the effect, but very little editing was done to this.. Since the effect was done IN CAMERA, I thought it might be suitable here.. I added the border in PSP8 just to break up all the white.
Thanks for looking!
