Two versions of the same Raw file were blended in order to keep the background light, the bg made of a peach colored towel hanging in direct sunlight. I also brushed in levels, again so that the bg would not be affected.

Wayne, Superb Photo of the Alstromeria. :toast: :toast: - love the pastel shades and the transluscence.

A couple of small spots in the center of the flower could be cloned out.

I love the color Wayne, and it has a delicate look that also makes it very appealing. Beautifully done.

Top notch image Wayne. Nice complementary bg color. Shaving a couple of mm off the lower edge will avoid the corner entry but this is only personal framing preference and does not detract from the beauty of this image.

Great choice of bg to bring out the delicate colouring of the flower, Wayne. for me this has the feel of a fine botanical illustration.
