Hubby and I went to the local nature preserve yesterday after our BIG
storm passed. I really liked this photo but was not happy with the back ground. Its what's left of a flower, but it was down off the bank of the
creek no way to get down and move the dead grass leaves behind it.

Any way I smudged the back ground then used the lightening tool on it. then but a boarder.
Thanks for Looking,
Doris Jennings

Awesome job on the bg, could be used on a number of images 8)

The flower is a great accent :D , the only suggestion I have would have been to crop from the left so that the flower is not so centered
Just havin' fun

That BG is great Doris. I agree with Mike on cropping to move the flower off centre 8)

Lovely quality to this one Doris, its like a close up of a section in a very old painting - and I love that little glowing red berry (I think its a rose hip) 8) :D

I love the soft bg, Doris. It may look good as a vertical :?
