I like the light used here as well as your Artistic edit using the DaVinci filters.
Has a vintage like look.
Creative, unique and nicely presented Mary Eileen.

Such a pretty and feathery opening blossom---very distinctive. The background leaves almost resembled a painting. I wouldn't have recognized it as a rhododendron but that's irrelevant since your photographic treatment works so well.

A beautiful subject that is presented with an artistic flair. The composition is excellent and the colors are beautiful. The DaVinci filter is not a favorite of mine.

I thought I was looking at a pastel or color pencil rendering of a flower ! I just love how at the top the leaves are barely visible, I love the dramatic lighting at the bottom as well and the vibrant purple flower . Great use of the tools available to you !

Very nice! Your effects and filtering sure created a painterly like photo with lots of texture. Great composition and color tones.
Thanks for posting.

Wow, what spectacular color! It almost looks surreal. I like the way you shot this giving the viewer a glimpse of the flower pod from which it emerged. The black (vignette?) sets off the other colors very nicely but is not overdone. Nice shot.

Interesting presentation of the flower! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, the colours and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Hi Mary Eileen!
What an attractive Floral picture this one is,my friend!
The soft purple coloration of that small blossom looks pleasantly mysterious set against the dark background of the scene!
'Good Show',my friend! : )

I really like the contrast in textures in this image. The tan and brown areas behind the blossom remind me of fine wool. I like the way the light and shadows add depth. The fuschia colored petals with their lighter highlights give the flower the look of a delicate soufflé . The star shape created by the veins in the petals is pleasing.
