Hi, I thought I would share my recent experiments with colour in phtoshop, the first image is my base from which I created all the other variations, I hope some of you like them and bring you as much pleasure as they have given me whilst messing about in photoshop. All votes and comments most welcome as always and thanks again to those of you who took time and trouble to look, click and upload mods on previous uploads.

Interesting to see what can be achieved with the processing tools at our disposal, Robert, although for me, the original, V 1, is my favourite.

What a beautiful arrangement of the orchid blooms and how well you have captured them! Good fun experimenting with the processing tools and sometimes you can come up with surprising results. Having checked all your variations, whilst they are interesting, I don't think you can beat the original V 1.
