Nr. 3 is my Fav too!
Love the details in it and the little glow at the edges.

Lisa — thanks! Hopefully after I’m moved I’ll be better able to focus on just macros. Now I am condensing things for time purposes.

Polona — the bottom left is the one I like best, too. And I really enjoyed seeing what the color filters did to the photo. It was pretty amazing.

Susan — I had a professional photographer tell me he uses Picasa. He says a good photographer shouldn’t need any more than what Picasa can do.

Thom — only because you choose to leave them as is. You are more than capable of learning this. If I can do it, so can you!

i agree with the majority – colour is most becoming in flowers. but it’s fun to play with different options and they all turned out well. still, bottom left would be the one most appealing to me

Holy cow, they’re lovely. The third is my favourite too: I like the way the black and white brings out all the delicate lines of the petals and the sunlight caught by the whole flower.

I didn’t know Picasa could do so much with photos — that’s very good to know, and thanks!

Those are beautiful. It's amazing what you can do with the photos. I'm like Dr. John basically. Mine are stuck with what they are LOL .-= Thom´s last blog ..Portrait of Words – #24 =-.

Well done Quilly, I never thought of sepia for a flower but it works well here. Of the b&w I like number two because it has more contrast to bring out the details. As the picture stands it is quite lovely your selective focus is wonderful. You should link your shots to a larger version so we can see them bigger, this really is lovely. .-= amanda´s last blog ..Ruby Tuesday: It never rains in California? =-.

Jingle — you’re starting to sound like a stalker and are scaring me. I am an ordinary person and don’t care much for hero worship.

Melli — that bathing bird is an incredible pic, isn’t it? (And I’m modest, too!)
