Thanks very much for the encouragement!! This was a fun shot to do. I set up the bottle in front of my computer screen with a fire background displayed. I tried it with hot sauce in the bottle but it looked too dark. I used aperature priority to get the blur I wanted on the background. Thanks again.
p.s. The voting breakdown chart is interesting. Check it out.

Thanks for the comments. I will still submit the "digital art" types of entries. I really liked this one. I do understand that it blurs "digital art" and photography.
However, The shot was taken during the challenge week and all rules were followed.
I arranged the poppies on a glass candle holder, sprinkled with water and took a few shots with different exposures and metering.
The PS7 steps I took are with the submission.

This is an excellent postcard. However, I believe that the border is illegal. How did you do it?

Consider how the lilies grow. Awesome ! I might have cropped a little tighter... leaving out the cement and the burned leaf. Great shot though ! God is the ultimate artist ... -9-
