Brian very helpfully suggested that I tweak I'm singing in the rain to get some extra contrast in the flowers. I have done that for this upload - and think it helps. I've uploaded "a before Brian as v2 and an after Brian version as v1"
Enjoy your Saturday and I hope you get some sunshine between the showers SmileSmile
Helen

.....and I've just discovered all my photos of this flower are there if you click on Streptocarpella in the Tags - so it is worth being quite specific with tagging SmileSmileSmile

There's not much in it but you've certainly got a bit more out of these delicate flowers. Love the processing again!

Well, for me V2 looks more in tune with the tones of a rainy day. The extra colour of V1 is prettier, if that's what you want, but I like V2.

Not much in it between the two.Overall it is a lovely image with great imagination
and skill used to bring us yet another beautiful image.
It's given me inspiration as most of your images do.

A very subtle change, Helen. v1 is marginally brighter but to be honest I'd be very happy with either.

V1 shows them slightly better, especially the flower on the left.

My feeble attempt at collage is up today....very primitive, but it's a start.
Thank you.

The flowers in V1 have the shape and depth that's lacking in V2 so for me it has worked Helen.
If V1 had been posted on its own I don't think anyone would have said they would like to see it looking duller.Smile
