I scrounged a couple of "keepers" from a bouquet of wilting daisy's we had in the house. I dream of taking a brilliant "Ursula" shot someday but have yet to attain it.
This has a "love" sort of mood to it IMO so I decided to name it as a counter to my "He loves me not" image.
Shot with the 50mm with extension rings for macro. Shot in RAW - RAW conversions. Elements - crop, Neat Image, levels, curves, hue/sat, Neat Image, blur, USM, and yes - more Neat Image, dodge/burn, selective color, color variations, border,save for web. And then went back for a spot more Neat Image : ) OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a little (but not much!).

The border is putting me off, maybe if it was same colour as the deepest colour of image or maybe just a little thinner would have been better IMO. Good focus, like the water droplets and great DOF.
