Bob:
This is delightful! Looks like water color painting with bold brush strokes. Like the bg as well. Although not quite like HD images (colors more saturated and not 'translucent'), it is nevertheless just as captivating and beautiful. Well done

I really like what is going on in the background, some very faint design of something. Also like the hint of color from the flowers.

Extremely pretty, Bob. Did you use Textured Backgrounds to blend in Photoshop ?

Also, I see some unmasked areas around some of the flowers, one big one on the left most flower. I personally don't think its a big deal, but if you happen to revisit the stack/processing for print, may be correct it.

I like this! It has the look of glass art-work...bold translucent colors and drippy glowing. Really unique! Ken S

Stunning and very creative, Bob. Looks like this belongs in the photo-art section!

The high-key approach works very well with the orchid colors. The vase reminds me of Halloween.

I like the softness of the bg against the color of the lilies. An appealling arrangement

Very nice results of this 'experiment' Bob. The color and artistic rendition is great. Wonderful effects.
