Queen of the Night [Floral Pictures and Close Up Photographs of Plants]

Queen of the Night

Uploaded: February 01, 2007 08:01:09

Description

Let's welcome February, shall we?
As for the effects on this image…it’s very hard to describe. What I was feeling at that very moment is reflected here with various steps done with PS, Corel painter etc. Title is inspired by Whitney Houston’s song by the same name.
