[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm reposting this beautiful blue hydrangea plant utilizing the suggestion of Riverfriends. He suggested the dark gray background and I think it did improve the composition.

I'm new to Photoshop so I might not have done this the way others would with more experience. I know I have a lot to learn. I selected the background in stages and filled it with a dark gray. I continued until I had changed all the background. I then had to clone areas that needed tweaking. I removed the stem in the lower right hand corner and just added a shadow and leaf and changed the signature. I also sharpened it a little bit. Please let me know what you think of this version.

Thank you for all your suggestions, David.
