These look like fine satin or opaque glass. It the first thing I thought of on viewing them. Gorgeous.

thanks so much, Ikka, am quite fond of this one myself : ) love the satiny effect of the petals.

glad you like it, Janice, thanks very much :)

Hi Sandrak, thanks very much for the nice comments. I did this sometime ago, and can't really recall how I got there :) so would have to do it all over again and hope to come out with the same results, as I seem to have "lost" the original of this manipulated one, during a hard drive meltdown before Xmas. I did back up on an external HD, so thought things were safe, but so far have not found this image on the external drive.

thanks very much, Karen, for the very nice comments, much appreciated. It's around a year now since you were in this area, I seem to recall. Temperature much warmer at this point tho'.

glad you found it, Alex D :) glad you like it, and thanks for the encouragement.

thanks very much, Vince, for the nice comments. Am glad you like it. Good to see you here again : )

thankyou, Golda, glad you like it : )

thanks for the nice comment, Tam, good to see you here and glad you like it.

thankyou, Vicki for the very nice comments. Happy you like it. Yes, it does look like glass : )

thanks so much, dear Susan, am happy you like it : )

thanks very much, Doug, much appreciated : )

thanks Janice, and also for the feedback about the title. Sometimes I change the titles, but guess I'll leave that one.

glad you like it, Carol, many thanks. Was going to bed earlier last night, but then started playing with this photo, and got to bed at 3 am again LOL
