~~~ SOLD~~~
I revised Miss Willmott. The hard edge/line that ran diagonally from a shadow line on the viewer's left, through the center of the flower and connected with the vein line on the bract on the right bothered me a lot. I softened that and broke the connection by carefully scrubbing it down. I also softened the bottom of the flower center to read better with the light source...hopefully. I recropped to 21"x 13 1/2" and reframed her in a wider frame. I reshot my photo outside. Yes, it's sunny and fairly warm here today! Consequently the colors are much more accurate.

beautiful I love the composition and the contrast of the hard and soft edges, very nice :)
thank you, Tracey! i'm quite happy with it. i feel i achieved the ethereal look i was shooting for.
When you have achieved what you were after that is considered a success. I am glad that this is one where you feel successful.
The frame creates a pretty boundary for the soft image. I am sure this will be sold quickly Billie.
You definitely achieved a "ghostly" look on this one Billie! The colors are beautiful and it all works together so well. Nicely done!
Rebecca aka Robin, thanks for stopping by.:) yup, i'm well pleased with this one. i know my palette is unusual but i love the effect. i pictured this in a silver frame so had to choose something that would work.
thank you, Stacy! taking a flower that looks this spikey and giving it a soft, ghostly appearance was exactly what i was going for. i'm thrilled you like the colors, too.
