Ethereal Beauty

I don't know a thing about glamour glow, but whatever it is, if it contributed to the way this flower appears to light up without any harsh highlights, I like it. Since you mentioned that the original was tack-sharp, I wonder if there is a way to selectively reduce or adjust the effect to restore some of the detail to the upper whorl of petals. Somehow they appear to be less in focus than other parts of the image that are both closer and farther away. As a photographer, I find that puzzling, but I'm sure most "normal" people would not even notice that among the overall beauty of this shot.

Great looking water lily, Lucy. The glow works nicely on the flower center. The larger version shows some softness in the flower petal tips, but a Wayne says, I don't think most folks would notice.

Wow! That is one striking flower, Lucy! The processing makes it dramatic without going overboard. Nicely done!

What a beautiful flower! I really like the interesting colors and details, especially in the center. Yes, it would be nice to have all in focus, but the center is sharp which is the most crucial. I like the way the pads seem to be sheltering the flower.

I hope you noticed the water, that was trapped inside of the center of the lily. I loved how that looked

The glamor glow colors pop Lucy, nice detail center where it counts.
A real eye catcher, well done!
