Stamen Explosion

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

LOL, Wendy : ) hoity toity? you think? lol,
I thank you sooo much Wendy! :-)
I actually didn't do to much to this photo. I have this thing lately with messing with the levels in PS, I upped the white levels (just like my Still Life shot of the vase with flowers, only with that one I upped the black levels) With this shot by upping the white levels it kinda blew out the already white petals and made the stamens pop! I also toned down the yellows a bit for a slightly softer backdrop. For me PS is just trial & error (with many errors, lol) I really don't have to much of a clue to what I'm doing, but I'm learning! : )

Hey Tara : ) Thanks! Your a sweetie :-)
