[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sunday, Good Morning Everyone,

Sunday is usually a gentle, more restful day and with that in mind, I decided to post a photograph which epitomised the mood.

This is an orchid, one of the most beautiful of flowers, which maintains its beauty long after it has been cut. I took the shot at my nephew's wedding.

I tried to give it the feeling of a beautiful, calm longevity by my pp work. This included applying a layer, adding a white vignetting, erasing the vignetting over the focal flower, adding a toning border, signing and sharpening.

I hope you have a restful day.
Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Hi Beverley,

Another great shot....so, you did it again! I love the colors of the orchid flower and the mood in the picture is just beyond imagination. The sharpness and POV are just perfect. Very well done!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Bev
Fantastic close up of this face to face flower which seems looking at us and has a mouth!
The most interesting part despite of nice details and colors, is the application of glow lighting which makes it dreamy...BRAVO
Best wishes

Olá Bev,

The combination of the soft pastels, the soft image and the transparent border all add up to set the mood you describe.
Very nicely captured and presented.
Thanks,

Bonjour Beverley
Voilà une magnifique photo parfaitement retravaillée.The blurred bg and the frame are worked with a true art knowledge, and this is too a sensuous and delicate flower of which you have shown the quintessence.
Good day,Beverley
