Thank you all. I had played around with the edges of the flower and the background, adding some gaussian blur to impart a softer look. Even though no one seems to have noticed it---LOL--, I kind of like the effect...and I learned a bit more about PP in the process.

Love the colours here Mary Ann. The blue and green background really works beautifully with the violet/blue shades of the subject. Great post ~ Regards Melbob
