What a lovely floral for a 90th birthday invitation. Very, very nice, and really like whatever you did to achieve the effect that you did. Did you layer or is this just super DOF? Jan

Hats off to Mary! I know you must have spent a lot of time on this one and it shows. You tweeked to the last nuance of color shade to balance it just right. I am sure your mother in law will just love all the thought and effort you put in.
Glad to hear your email problems are solved, I was begining feel a little left out, not having gotten any messages for few days. I don't know how you can spend the time you do with all the comments to people here.

That's very creative. Did you add the lighting effect, or is it natural? Good choice for the invitation.

Thanks, Janice. I am not sure what you call what I did. I used the lasso tool to outline the pansy, then inversed, then played with the background using the new layer gradient option and then a blur (that geasun, geasion, whatever, I really know my PS, don't I?). The result is a little softer than the flowers as they were, IMHO.
Mary So, from your comments on this and my last one, I guess I qualify now as finally having a decent floral.?

Hey Lady - You were the one that said you were not having any luck with taking florals - that does not appear to be the case - witness these last two floral shots. They are great - and the presentations are perfect for the shots. Keep taking and uploading like these last two florals - you are becoming a "pro"! When you branch out you do it right. WTG Jan

Robert, thanks for your encouraging comment.
Re the time I have to post comments on UF. There are a number of things that factor into that. 1. I'm retired. 2. My children are grown and gone. 3. My health demands that I rest more and not be as physically active as I once was. So, I have 2-3 hours a day when I am resting. I can lie on the couch with my laptop and go to UF. It sure beats trying to find something worthwhile on the wasteland of TV. There are days I can't get to UF for various reasons. However, mostly I can and one can view many pictures and make many comments in 2.5 hours. It's great to have the time, not so great to have the reason why.
Take care.
Mary

Thanks, Todd. The lighting in the background is a gradient something or other over the original picture covered with a blur. I don't know all the right terms yet or how to use most of the stuff in PS. When I have time, I just fool around and see what I can come up with.
Mary

Please convey my congratulations to your mother-in-law. With my 75+ I'm a child compared to her. I'm sure she will be happy with this flower photo in the invitations. I, for one, like it very much.
For someone who is pressed for time, you commented on quite a number of my photos, dear Mary.
Here's the list: my "From the field 9, 10 and 11", my "Orange ribbon 2" which made you laugh and I'm glad about that, my "On the fidge door", which is not really ours but our daughters, but ours looks the same, my "CD", which aroused different associations in different viewers, from flying saucer to your pattern on jeans, my "Green cur glass", my "Legless beggar", my "Bonsai tree reflected", at the sight of which you claimed not to have time for individual comments but continued commenting all the same, my "Goodbye friend, hello stranger" and my "Since 1977."
For all those lovely comments I thank you deeply, dear Mary.
Best regards,
Rafi
