A beautiful image to graciously float away the year 2013. I really have enjoyed reviewing your images. You have a skillful, artistic, creative and tasteful approach that personalizes your images. Even in blind entries (contest) yours are easily identifiable.

This image here is not exception. You have achieved a warm glow in this image which is also technically perfect. Placement in the frame is attractive. I really like the effect introduced through Topaz and with brushes. Wishing you and yours a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year - Kathy

I wish I had the patience to cut out and do all the things you do to get these beautiful art pieces, but I just shoot and let it be.
This is so nice with the shadows and relections. I love the golden line going around some of the petals.
Great job
Thanks for sharing

Comment from julika
Gorgeous image. The orange colour is so warm!. Wonderful detail and texture in the flower, especially in the centre. The lighting is most effective and so is the hint of the shadow of the flower seen in the background. I love the small lines - I guess they are created with that lens effect. Beautiful colour harmony in this image. The composition is excellent- setting the bloom left of frame gives so much room for the viewer to admire the detail you created in the fabulous background.

Would have made a great entry for the orange flowers contest but I'm sure the one you submitted was equally as good. Excellent flower photo with the addition of some nice background effects. Almost looks like it's floating on a layer of water. Excellent work on this photo and thanks for sharing it.

Wow, another great one Annie, like your edit and topaz work, framed and with such pretty orange colors. Good sharp focus all showing the pretty details.
