A really BIG thank you to each and everyone who commented on yesterday's post. I really wish I had the time to thank you all personally :) This is the same flower but a different shot, again processed, this time I tried to give the flower a painted effect again this is using just the basic's, saturation and contrast.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
that is nice
