its a different way to display a flower

the flower in the bubble is quite unique and makes for a pretty presentation. the black background sets everything off and the grey adds nicely to the effect.

Comment from snowblaze
You did this inside of a camera? Amazing - truly!

(A "marigold?" really?) but... no matter...

I do wish the flower was bit sharper in focus... as it's encased in that bubble -- and sort of "requires" uber-sharp focus... and no hot spots of light.

I think your concept is dynamite! The globe is very imaginative!

Thanks a million for your review.
I did look in Corel Paint Shop Pro as well but could not find anything that would do it this.
But yes there is a setting in the camera for retouching the picture this was one of fourteen options in Creative retouch called One Point Colour. I then used Corel Paint Shop Pro to put it in the Bubble.
I use a Panasonic Lumix Compact TZ35 Camera ----yes what some might call a point & shoot. I've had an SLR + three lens in the past but with this camera I don't have to remember to bring it, it's there on my belt all the time.

This is a very beautiful and unique image. I love how the bright little flower stands out against the dark background and the little bubble it sits in. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all excellent. You did a wonderful job and you were very creative. Well done and thanks for sharing :)

Comment from GaliaG
nice idea and very good technique

still, there is too much black unused space in this piece and also the yellow of the flower is too bright and disturbing

still, a nice try

thanks for sharing
