Hyacinth time, soon they will be pushing up through the spring. I just love the fragrance. this is a very nice enhanced picture with those transparencies and a shake of Topaz. This is so beautifully done. Good luck in the contest. Ray

Well I didn't completely understand the methodology, but it's created a lovely end result! I do like how the flower has been repeated within the background. The whole is beautifully sharp with good detail. Best wishes for the competition.

Isn't it amazing what you can do on a computer these days? This is a nice image. Creatively done. The blurred background helps the main image to stand out. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

    My mind is boggled by the beautiful images you can create on the computer. My talent is nowhere near the images you do, but I love
    using the computer to create! Thank you for the wonderful review!

I appreciate the beauty of the hyacinth blossom in this mixed media artwork. The use of natural background with Gaussian blur and the cut and pasted hyacinth with shadows and highlighted edges creates a striking visual effect. The addition of the topaz filter as transparency over the original flower adds depth and texture to the artwork.
I am in love with the smell of this flower.
Nature has this ability to evoke strong emotions and memories. It is fascinating how certain scents can transport us to different times and places in our lives, making us feel a range of emotions from joy to sadness.
Well done!

I don't really know all that much about 'Creative Photography' but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate this very attractive Floral Image that you've presented us with here!
I'm enjoying it a lot,my friend!

    All I knew was this contest wanted contestants to use their skills and create something with the image they shot. I tried my best to do that! Thanks for the great review! :o)

Beautiful! I thought this was what this contest was about and your work is lovely as well as creative. Such clear details of this hyacinth made even better with the shadows and overlay. Well done and best wishes!
