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

Something a little different for the weekend!

This beautiful plant is growing on the edge of the pond in my garden. As its petals die and fall into the pond, I just speculated what would happen if they dissolved.

This set me on a photographic journey to make the petals dissolve pictorially! After much deliberation and experimentation, here is the result!

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

pp copied flower, created new canvas, filled with b/g colour, added lines and smudged, using marque tool, added thick border and thin inner border, pasted flower onto this canvas, added duplicate layer, edged flower with magnetic lasso and added border, erased flower border on inner surface, using smudge and liquify tools - dissolved petals into b/g colour, signed, rediced size for web

Hi Beverley,
A favvulous PP work on this macro of this high-lighted pink flower!
I like the lining of the edges of the flower with the continuation of the inner frame!
Well done!
Nice lighting and good focusing!
Very original frame with all this HPP you adopted.
Great work!
