Good day my friends.

This afternoon when we were driving to the shops I saw a lovely cycad with two huge cones. So when we came back I took my camera to get a capture. However as I walked through the lovely gardens I got side tracked so often that I ended up taking almost a 100 photos LOL. It was cloudy and overcast and I had no bother from the bright hot sun and most photos came out well.

Then I decided just to add a simple border to this rose but again got side tracked and in the end added so many effects that I cannot remember very well what I did but I liked the effect :-)

Next time I have a play session I will make proper notes but some of my playing involved the following:

Cut out flower image with lasso tool on duplicate layer of main image
Reduced saturation on background layer and increased lightness
Selected a square and added a thin stroke (new layer)
Inversed selection and fill outer part with soft pink from the rose
Inversed again and added a dropped shadow with dissolve blend to the outer part of the square
Added a drop shadow to the cut out flower layer with added outer glow and emboss effects
Merged all layers, flattened and resized for upload after adding my signature.

Any and all comments are more than welcome...
