Thanks so much to all of you...my BG canvas was an old black, slinky kind of dress, that I do not think I have worn in quite some time. I guess that little black dress did come in handy after all! #5973101MELODIE C. ROBERTS May 24, 2008

Laurie - Wow! Those colors and details are amazing! - Mike #5974473Nikki McDonald May 25, 2008
The color is amazing here, Laurie, and I love the gently mounded arrangement. Did you use a glow edges (or other filter), was it your lighting or are the petals of these stunning flowers just naturally "outlined" in the lighter color? #5974596Mike D. Perez May 25, 2008
Beautiful colors, Laurie! #5974973Janet Daniel May 25, 2008

...wonderful color and contrast Laurie...they look like they're just floating in air...Aimee #5977794Laurie Daily May 26, 2008
Thanks so much for all of your appreciated comments.Nikki, even the original image had some lightness and slightest of glow to the edges. After darkening up BG, cloning out lots of pollen, sharpening, and adjusting lighting, saturation, etc. in PS it did seem more pronounced. I may have used a touch of frac, too. (Can't recall for sure)I sometimes play with that a little after downsizing for BP...usually I don't use it, but it's always fun to see what it does. #5977957
