Comment from Ray Gordon
Nancy, I learn so much from you and your technique of defining edges. I call it magic, because it causes the object to stand away from the bokeh. very nicely executed and congratulations for your win. All the best to you, Ray

Hi Ray, I'm glad you think YOU can learn something from me! I don't have any artistic training at all. It took me a while to learn what bokeh and gaussian blur were. I didn't have a clue! LOL I discovered if I watched what a other people did I could learn. I have and to have a trained professional lie yourself like what I do means a lot! I'm so glad you enjoyed this piece! Thank you so much for your wonderful support and congratulation note! :o) Nancy

Nancy,
Sorry I've run out of SIXES for this beautiful picture of the cascading Apple blossom standing out from it's blurred background. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is a lovely image with the blossoms and leaves so well arranged; the blurring with reflections in it, especially on the right, is excellent; and your capture of it all after your finished work. Thanks for sharing. This is indeed lovely Mixed Media Photography.

Comment from Easton Bay
These apple blossoms are magnificent, Helvi. I love what you have done to magnify their natural beauty.
May I ask what software you use to perform your magic?
Count me a fan and thank you. Apple blossoms are a favorite of mine too.

Hi Easton, I think I told you before that I use Microsoft Digital Image 10 PRO. :o) I've been using it for a few years so it's getting pretty old now. Discover what is in your software and play with it! Google plug-ins too. You can find a lot of interesting things out there on the web. Good Luck on your journey and thank you so much for the awesome review! I am truly honored by your six star review! Thank you! :o) Nancy

Hello, lovely Helvi! What a fabulous capture of a beautiful Apple Tree brans, full of multi-layered beauty in pinks and reds! It makes me want to be there to take in all the fragrance.
Wonderful editing you did to enhance it even more.
Just gorgeous!

Comment from nikman
A very good looking, striking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that lovely plant and its beautiful blooms. Colours, textures and tones are good.
Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great shot!

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Oh alright Nancy, I capitulate, here's the damn six you wanted! LOL
Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, awesome, amazing are but a few of the words I can think of to describe this photo! Yep you did it again!
What I want to know though is this: whenever I try cutting out, adding blur to the original then pasting the subject back, I get the blurred edges of the original subject showing around the edges of the pasted subject - as the blur expands outwards - but you don't! How so? (It's most unfair! Lol)

Hi Charlotte, My goals is to take away as many of your sixes that I can! LOL Thank you so much for all the wonderful compliments! I feel incredibly honored to receive them.
My reason for blurring the copy of the original is to make it a shadow. I color it black. The original goes on top of that. I then blur the black copy I made so you see the blurred edges around the original. It makes a nice shadow. I hope that explains it!
Bless you for the super wonderful 6 star review My Friend! :o) Nancy
