Just to give you a sense of what this all about and how the pictures are made, please see that actual scene and flower. The petals in the Red Box is where this photo was made

.

It was windy and that is why you can see the plamp holding the bloom. Overnight Rain has beat up the flowers pretty hard as well.

I use a handkerchief to clean up the petals and the edges to remove dirt and water first. Sometimes cloning out these things can be time consuming specially on the edges which is where I focus.

Another gorgeous curving abstract. I'd like to order a box of these popsicles.

Simple (as in not a complex image, not simple as in falling off a log), but very effective. Nice light and colors to go along with the focal line.

Great artwork. Ram I like the very smooth color contrast on the flower created by (soft?) morning light. This image could be also successfuly placed in photoart gallery.

Love the kind of rainbow effect of this one, Ram - superb colouring and sharpness choice. Thanks, too, for the full shot - I've always wondered how exactly you got these abstracts !!

Another signature masterpiece, Ram. Thanks so much for the generosity of showing us how you do it. Your ability to focus in on the edge is just brilliant. It is razor sharp and makes the whole thing work. Hat's off to you!
