nectarine blossom

I obsessed over this blossom from my backyard. It was charming and delicate, but as I worked on it, I kept looking for strength and finally altered it drastically in Photoshop, even adding noise at the end to what had already become noisy. I used every imaginable device in PS...the image kept telling me it wanted more. For the moment, I'm happy with it, but I realize this is not for everyone.

Sorry for the awful title, but it's mnemonic for me. Comments welcome

Mixed this up with another picture. This is a nectarine blossom, NOT a camelia. Still interested in comments, however.

Great piece of art!

IMO It's still charming and delicate and with your PS work you have given it strength!

(I can't explaine it further...damn english)

I understand what you mean by "the image kept telling me it wanted more". Something tells

me that you stopped at the right/perfect moment with the PS work.

I really love it,would hang it on my wall right away!

 

With love,

Thank you for affirming my intentions. Good to hear from you after a long silence. Perhaps you, like me, are returning to post some new work, which is so often quite original and always thoughtful in your case.
