Image was taken of a columbine growing in my garden. I laid a single blossom on a lightbox and shot down onto it using backlighting from the box and a floodlight above.
This image came from a composite of several layers of the single image, and editing in LR and PS.

Well I do appreciate the creativity you put into this image.
I like the way the petals reach out of the box you surrounded the image with. The blue background is really pretty, too.
I think this would make a really nice greeting card !   Posted: 10/13/2019 03:37:45

Christina, your creative image is impressive! I like everything about this image... I like the composition, the color and how you framed the flowers. Very, very nice!   Posted: 10/14/2019 23:48:28

I agree with Diana and Donna's comments! Well-planned use of a single blossom image to create a complex composite. The inner border with the petals crossing it adds drama and energy to the composition. I also like the light blue shadow. My only quibble is that the lefthand side of the flower composite is slightly hot; this can easily be toned down by slight burning in. Overall, nice job!   Posted: 10/18/2019 14:00:51

Nice image of the flower. It shows lots of creativity in coming up with the concept and implementing it perfectly. The flower is sharp and very colorful.   Posted: 10/22/2019 09:21:43
