I use Rose of Sharon bushes to accentuate my extensive privet hedge borders around my farm house in NE PA. My wife and I love the prolific flowers the bushes produce each year and the bees are very appreciative of the abundance. This is a wonderful , hardy plant to enhance any garden, large or small.

My mom had one of these. Unfortunately it didn't survive being left totally unattended. This is lovely, Bob.

Beautiful. I love the way you made the flower stand out from the background without going full black.

Thank you Leslie. As you will soon learn, I lean toward an artful presentation of most of my subjects. I have a very well stocked toolbox of filters and plugins (which helps).Exceptional contrast!

Beautiful capture. The flowers is so lacy and delicate it is almost transparent.

Thanks Bill. I'm continuing to view more tutorials then use the tips I learn to apply to my own work. It's a continuing learning experience.Beautifully done with the Master's touch! Great job Bob! 
Someday I need you to walk me through how you do your flowers. I need to concentrate better on what you were saying and maybe follow through with an image open and all the plugins so I can see the individual controls you use. I'd be glad to reciprocate.
