Very nicely done
You make even the humble clover into a very attractive image. Love the background too, how do you get that?

Very nicely done indeed . Surprised there isn't much about in the way of flowers. Very little here (I worked roughly with the same flowers, we are always about six weeks ahead of you, if that makes sense!). I've got my eye on a giant sort of Christmas cactus which is growing in a grden and is in full bloom but think it will probably collapse if picked.

Thanks everyone
The background is a texture layer courtesy of Shadowhouse Creations - number 64 in this instance. The original background is just a large sheet of white cotton - dump the texture layer on top - adjust to fit the image (in this case well stretched). The select the background of the image, invert the selection, return to the texture layer - a generous dose of gaussian blur will clear the texture from the flowers. I also use Lucisart Whyeth on the main image together, sometimes, with a touch of unsharp mask. And that's about it
My main problem with flowers here Lydia is that my favourite flower man seems to have stopped trading. I relied on him for a good and varied selection of blooms throughout the summer - stuff that the other flower sellers in town don't get in. Plus I used to raid his reject box and pinch bits and bobs that were destined for the bin. It seems I'm just going to have to grow more of my own for next year - hopefully I'll have a new flower bed ready to plant up come the spring so shall make sure I have a good variety of flowers in there!
