Interesting effect, it almost looks like silk on the flower, love the texture you created on the petals #965890

This is about the 10th time I looked at this today Chuck.... don't know what you did, but this is fabulous. The texture in the veins and edges of the flower are wonderful... It DOES look like silk... but so much softer and nicer! Great job! #6223358

This is an image that has to bee seen full size to appreciate the true beauty. Excellent work here Chuck. Lovely photo with skillfully applied effects. #6227216

Wow. Something happened in my heart when this one opened. Am I the only one who felt it? (I KNOW it wasn't my coffee, either).

SERIOUSLY. It was really a special moment so I re-opened it two more times and got the same feeling again. Truly a special image and we want to know what effect you used here. Will you tell us Chuck? :) If not for me but for others who actually HAVE good PS programs to use, as you must! (But not I). Ha!

Thank you so much, for such a wonderful, and inspiring comment. You made my day.
This is a technique I developed in Photoshop, and is a little to complicated to explain here. I'm currently working on tutorials for this and other techniques. When I'm finish, I'll email everyone interested. #6234347
