Thank you very much for the review. I think I know what you are referring to, and I think you are right. Great imagination LOL

Comment from Roger4man
Your post processing really worked well here.
The sharp central focus and the hazy background work very well together. BTW what editing software(s) was used?

I have used a combination of Photoshop and Picnik. The filter was found in Picnik. Thanks for the review.

What a unique photo. Love the design and I didn't think I would when I saw this from afar. Love the textures and great execution :)

You have created a creative image of the poppy bud. I like the way the water drops look. Good focus and sharp detail to see the hairs. Good artist notes. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

The bud and drops of water are very sharp and clear, and I like them in black & white. Not sure I like the texture in this one - looks a bit "patchy".

Comment from fast john
avmurray,you are letting yourself down here,I expect a lot more from you.This image is nice and clear except for thr rain drops on the poppy,perhaps the use of a filter or something when you played around a bit.Anyway I have still given you five stars as it is still a very good image.

You are absolutely right. I am going to redo this tonight. Also the ranidrops are nice and clear, but the filter ruined it more than I thought, and it even looks worse on this site. I am going to cut out the bud, do the background seperately, and paste. Thank you very much for the review
