Some Flowers from Home

This is an Amaryllis growing inside our home. Today, I decided to take two images and make a composite of them. Sometimes I add a drop shadow, but here I felt I didn't need to. It has a "floating" image inside the mat where the flower is trying to look or reach out of the float onto the mat. I like it better this way than just covered with a frame. Shutterfreaks.com has some very nice PS actions for frames, including "out-of-the-box". This was SPE work in Composite mode.

This is a favorite from the garden, Dutch Irises. There was a bunch of work to get here, including HDR. AndrewB and others have a love for flowers, so I would like to dedicate these two flower pictures to AndrewB, who has been such an inspiration for the art of photography!

Thanks everybody for your nice comments!!!! Through the years, flowers have been a good subject--they like to pose, change their colors, perform 24/7, they will work until they die, and emotionally they always leave something behind to remember.
