Challenge: Toilet Paper (Basic Editing)

 My wife and I watched a couple of tutorial videos on You Tube on how to make toilet paper roses. So we made a handful of flowers out of the two types of toilet paper we had in the house, one had a bit of texture, the other a bit smoother. Laid out on a white reflector with a couple of bits of fake greenery from another flower arrangement in the house and voila! Lit mostly naturally in our conservatory, but a bit of reflected flash to try and pull some definition into the fake petals.

Editing steps were simply :-

Crop
Levels
Hue/Saturation
Brightness/Contast
Resize
USM

Well done on your top ten, I thought my Blue Peter effort was getting creative but clearly your art grades at school were A's. Two great results in a week.

A+ for effort - very nicely rolled :) Hope this ribbons.

Might've been more effective with colored tissue for the flowers?
