This Image Is Dedicated To Patti Coblentz.
When I Got My New Nikon D90
I Felt So Intimidated.
MANY PEOPLE GAVE ME TIPS and HELP
But Patti Sent Me Outside For A Photo Shoot.
I reported RIGHT BACK with RESULTS!
That Week, These Flowers Weren't Open Yet.
TODAY THEY WERE.


Patti, The Original Is Below.
If Not For You & Your Help It Wouldn't Be So Pretty!

THANK YOU PATTI.
(AND YES. I SHOT IN "A" and not AUTO!)

P.S. I know your Sisters Funeral Is Today. We are all with you. Okay?

!!! THANKS FOR BEING YOU !!!

  Hi Early Pearl! I love cosmos so much! Glad you do, too. You know, my original is razor sharp. Don't know why it came out a bit fuzzy here? I didn't reduce it...? Humm...It's not the first time this has happened to me with my entries.

ANYWAY STILL PRETTY RIGHT? :)

Thanks for the visit!

-Swanee :D

  Loving both, MSSLala. When I look at the original I smell flowers, I feel warmth and when I close my eyes I am in the garden.
Well done!!

  I am still on the learning curve with mine and probably the rest of my life LOL. Great shooting and affects.

We are standing down today for a break. Been going now for close to three weeks. We have to do that now and then LOL.

Same kind of weather down here. It started out clear but now cloudy. Get the rain over before we get there.

Lucky day wifi seems to be better.

  Tammy, I take it you are referring to our very own "Peaches" on BP, correct? I mean, if I yell "APPLE" I can expect no help, right? Hehe! Thank for the vote of confidence! :)

  When I opened this my first thought was:this would make a phenomenal stained glass work! Laura, the original is outstanding- Patti must be a great teacher b/c I always believe that the student is only as good as the teacher!
The final result is exceptionally well done! WTG!

  Cosmos are one of my favorite flowers to grow. They are very easy to care for so the're perfect for a lazy gardener like me.

Nice capture on the orignal and nice effects on the fract version.

  Laura, both these floral images are very pretty...but I think the Fract filter has really made that one 'pop' even more!! Beautiful work here, my friend...and a wonderful dedication to dear Patti, too!! I'm still thinking of her at this sad time for her and her family... :o)

  These are so pretty & bright! Well done!

BTW, does your frac filter take forever to make changes when you use it? Mine does & I've even moved PS & the frac filter to a different (new) computer. It still hangs up & I end up cancelling it to try something different! Just wondering if you have the same problem.
