Orchid Dream

I grow these orchids in my back yard and they bloom just once a year.

I don't know their name and if anyone does I would appreciate the

information. I edited this in CS3 mainly using the liquify filter. I

then added a curves layer to control the contrast. The final step was

to use Gaussian blur selectively with a mask to add some glow.

wow, Leo! this is one fine piece of art, I really love how the colors seem to melt together, although it's "only" a photoshop thingi. great flower, great eye and well accomplished result, congrats, Patrick

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I really like the way that this turned out. The dream surreal look really appeals to me.
