Funny, I didn't think this would go over well. I put it in to the texture side challenge and within a tremendously short time I got three favorites. So I hid it and saved it for the entire month (taken on the first day of November).
I'm so very glad I did that. Got me a new personal best and my very first 6+.

Beautiful. I love the contrast between the soft blurs and the sharp scratchy petals. Well done.

First time to see this, and yes, it does look like fireworks. The Chinese characters for fireworks is "flower fire". Nicely done. ;-Þ

Oops - I managed not to come back after the challenge until now. Congrats BIGTIME on your new personal best, Jeanne! :) It's truly a beautiful shot and very different from the usual flower image. Now share the learning with everyone else and post the original and how you edited it. :)

So I'm drifting around Team Suck thread and I notice your thumbnail and click it, and notice this nice flower with a good DOF. The coffee is low so off to the kitchen, as I come back I notice the fireworks in the shot. 2 pictures in one, now that̢۪s a great capture..

Hey - that's a pretty cool macro shot. I like your composition, with two more flowers in the upper corners.

For me, the bokeh of the other "sparks" are what make the photo for me. I love the patters you have captured.
