OK Guys:
I have been a lurker, and after a two-step program, I overcome my shyness and opened a Gallery, posted a image, and here I am.
My stepdaughter gave my wife a orchid a few months ago,and told her to take good care of it, she has, and a few days ago it bloomed. The photo's in the gallery are before, and a selection. Thats as far as I got. I want to send this to my step-daughter, but my creativity is -110%. I have been working on getting my selections to a reasonably fair condition. Using PSE 6 made it a lot easier.
What I've done to the selection so far is Adjust Brightness to +11 and and Contrast to + 57. I tried to get a background but came up with either to light or to Dark So I setteled with Grey for this post. I Tried with a B&W background and coloing the flower trying to get the color to pop but really was still to much distraction in the bacground.
