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! #5973101

Nikki McDonald level-classic 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? #5974596

Laurie Daily level-deluxe 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

Nikki McDonald level-classic May 26, 2008

Well, it's just beautiful!! I love the look here. Thanks for thinking about this one for me :) #5978221
