Reworked flower image from 2008. Edited in PSCS3 and NIK software. Taken at the San Diego Zoo August 2008. Cloned out some distracting flare I had not noticed earlier, pointed out by a friendly BPr.

I loved this before and love it even more now. So sensual and beautiful. I'd love to see the flare? circle to the mid left cloned out. The colors in here are simply beautiful.

Personally, I like the "before" image more than the "after" one. It has a dreamy look which I love. I might darken the flower just like in the "after" image but would keep the dreamy background. #8561548
