 Flowers are coming out on one of my rhododendrons - very early!
The leaves were full of unattractive little blemishes so I did poster edges on a duplicate layer, erased them from main flower, then did radial blur zoom on the layer on which the flower had been erased so that the normal one shows through.

Gorgeous color and cool effects with the leaves. Trying to follow the description of the technique. Maybe I will eventually learn how to use my Photoshop!

Great bright pink color and your processing is very cool! The petals almost appear as though they are made out of paper. Lovely!

Love the colors, and what a clever way of disguising leaf blemishes. :) It looks dreamy that way.

Cool editing, certainly makes the flower pop off the screen. I love the bright pink against the deep green.
