Gorgeous stunningly brilliant colour, great shadow effects and overall fantastic framing and composition. Love the fine detail in the original flower and the way you have pulled it all together.

Simply smashing - I'm so impressed by your post-processing techniques; they are amazing - it truly is a piece of artwork. The highlights, shadows, colors, texture, detail, framing, composition, it is all there and very nicely done. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year.

Comment from Geokat
Absolutely amazing editing in this piece Annie. Your background is incredible and the lighting on the piece is tremendous. Great clarity in the shot. My goal for 2014 will be to try to be as good as you. A big task but very worth it. I know it is already the New Year in Norway. Have a great new year.

you did well with this as you usually do. Good job!

very pretty and well done. artistic and nice background. I like the bright colors so a brighter color might be better for me. but to each his own.

A really super orange flower presented with super color, clarity, and detail. Your background effects are nice and simple and make it stand out even more. Great job.
