I love the colouring in them, that is great.

And I was hoping for a car . . . .

Wow, that shade of pink looks beautiful....to bad the rest of the plant has been eaten away :cry:

Poon - the luminescence in the flower is amazing. I hope you don't mind, but I had to add the flower to a flower quote I've had stuck in my mind for ages. If you don't like, I'll take it back off the site - just let me know.

Edit - changed the quote

Thank you BlackWater.

You are so beautiful like my lotus.

Not surprised that my lotus is on BlackWater.

Beautiful flower vs BlackWater = Cool combination :lol:

I love it.

Every body likes it.
Thanks for it.

One thing that BlackWater's rework shows is something both these images needed and that is to be more tightly cropped to focus us on the flower rather than the partially eaten leaves.

Poon - so glad you liked it. Hopefully, I'm not offending anyone here, but I found an even better quote, so redid the image, with the flower draping over the frame: (with upped contrast as suggested)

How I did it - copied just the flower from your original shot, removed any of the background/leaves/stem, pasted onto a black canvas in ps, flipped and rotated the flower slightly, copied part of the stem on the other flower, pasted, rotated and slightly enlarged then pasted onto the black canvas with the flower. Added frames, and the quote, and then rearranged the order of the layers in ps so that the flower could drape over the mat. I also copied a section of the original flower, to replace the slightly squashed section on one side..... God I hope this makes sense.
And then, posted it.

It was your beautiful flower that made it all happen.

Wow. There are actually pretty damn good.

I'd maybe push the contrast up, but that's just me... they're great by themselves.

Hi
Very nice picture of the Lotus, I do not see Lotus here in Sydney, but in Asia , particular in the Buddish temple always has Lotus in the pond.

I the same as others, but i think this is a loverly flower and good capture Poon, what Rel has done with it is very very nice, this is where some of us lack the PP skills and i think this has turned out very pretty.
Well done to both.
