Very cool, Annmarie! I like the way you experiment with flowers. You had one submerged in water that was very creative and made me want to try it. 8 images here? Did you make a vignette or was that part of the images?   Posted: 04/05/2026 17:24:50

Thanks Michael,I really enjoy trying to do creative images with flowers.A few of us from my local camera club got together to have a go at submerged flowers, it was a lot of fun, you should definitely give it a go.In regards to this image, I darkened the background, highlighting the main blossoms, then duplicated and mirrored the image to create 2 images side by side then duplicated and flipped to create 1 image but 4 blossoms.Then duplicated and placed it on a angle, did this 3 more times and then convert to smart object and stacked it.Lots of good tutorials on Youtube for both Mandalas and Submerged Flowers.   Posted: 04/06/2026 05:12:29

Very clever! Thank you for the description on how you did it. Someday I hope to try it myself with some of my favorite pics.   Posted: 04/07/2026 21:12:07

Well done. Very creative way to create a different image. I might brighten it just a bit.   Posted: 04/09/2026 14:43:53
