 There are several small lakes in the area; this is the spillway of the dam for one of them. Several of my recent waterfowl photos in this side challenge were taken on the lake just above the dam.

Increased saturation on purples, left green alone, and desaturated all other colors, as the original background was ugly. This emphasized both the water and the flowers.

I like the editing you did. It gives something special to those wonderful flowers.

Ohhhhh, very nice. Especially like the texture created by the oof spillway. The flowers have a sharp, yet soft, dainty feel in contrast.

You know it's so weird that i would see this now. On Wednesday, someone was telling me about how there are about 9 waterfalls in the Cleveland area! I had no idea. Not sure if this is what she is talking about but it looks like one.

Love the composition with the colorful flowers in front and then the falling water in the background. Very nice job with the processing!

Pretty! Your selective desat works here. The flowers are so pretty against that watery background.

Excellent Job!!! This is very well done. The use of DOF and selective desat really makes everything POP!!!

Well done effect(s). DOF seems to make it work, but it may be more your desat. Interesting.

I really like this shot. These are the things I want to learn to do. The purple and green look great against this background.
