took so long to open .. but even from the start while i was being given more and more of a glimpse i was loving the black and white background texture ..
then the petals came into view .. its starting to look pretty damn good ..
finally i could see the entire image .. just wonderful ..
i'm loving so much about this .. the light especially is magnificent ..
hoping ribbon .. here's a vote that will certainly help .. :)

just looking at the thumbs and this one called out .. 'look at me' .. !! ..
so i did .. :)
a dirty window, cobwebs, an old bottle and dead roses .. so poignant .. this is just wonderful .. and now i'll have to vote on the entire challenge just so this is helped along with my vote .. :)
oh .. ps i'm loving the water running down the window .. its like the roses might have lived if that water had got in the bottle ..
or not . !! .. ;)

Originally posted by roz's notes: ust as a matter of interest .. when i give my editing steps to the sc for validation i tell them everything i've done .. is that the same for other ppl .. ?? Absolutely not. My editing steps are on a need-to-know basis. The only time I ever revealed my steps was when they waterboarded me and the water tickled my nose and I couldn't stand it any more. Tell them that magic elves guided your mouse as you edited this masterpiece. LOL, I'm a minimalist when I explain my editing, bc half the time I can't even remember, but also bc a lot of it doesn't need to be told due to the nature of the steps, if you know what I mean :)

hahaha Ken .. good answer .. :)
and I will take your method on board Anita .. i almost don't want to get in the top five because I'll have to detail everything I've done .. and for some extended edits it can be a lot ..
those sc ppl are probably having a chuckle at my expense..
not anymore ..!! .. ;)
