I'm really not all that good at describing how I come about a final outcome of an image....it's always been so much easier to just say "I toyed with it in Photoshop", lol! But I will give it a try.... ;-)

This was a fun layering project that I did with Photoshop Elements 3. The original image had way too much backlight and the main orchid's beauty was overwhelmed by it. However, I think the layering I did and some special effects I added (like having the color lighten from the center out...in this instance by 75%... and increasing the center color saturation, where I wanted the focus to be) made this a far more interesting image.

I really like how this turned out :-)
