Count the Triangles...Positive & Negative Spaces

I wouldn't really call this thinking outside the box. In fact, I think it corresponds very well to the intended theme of the challenge. The three blooms make a triangular composition. The "secondary" triangles (the shape of the blooms) are nice, too. Love the colors and the bright, sunny feel! A couple of spots in the upper right corner could be sensor dust, but it could be you just need to clean your lens.

The B&W is nice, but the color has way more kick to it, mostly because the colors are so cool.

Thank You so much, Everyone! Great encouragement! I must say I was thrilled, too, with how well my smudging skills went this time. I feel certain that this is THE best edit I have ever made with the smudge tool!

I am over-the-moon! :)

Who would have thought the smudge tool could be used for restoration of a car? :) Nice, subtle processing, Stan, and the B&W works perfectly for this lovely lady.
