I really like this flower, although I don't know what it is called. I took multiple shots at several angles and it was just not working. So, I did my flower editing "rescue" thing. This one took quite a while and there may have been cursing involved. I've included the original. Thanks for looking.

A lot of work, but a really lovely outcome!

End result beautiful. Yes, a lot of work even with modern digital.

Historically, I used a trick... I had a black felt and two wire supports that I would put behind to flower being photographed to eliminate the background.

Cursing or magic, however you got there, the results are beautiful. Very nicely done, Fran.

I think you have done a brilliant job with isolating the flower and making the colours pop but such a shame you have missed a few patches of the background by the stem and a few marks that show up on the double download. I know how hard and frustrating it can be doing work like this so as I said brilliant job..

WOW! It's hard to believe you were able to do that! It's a beautiful flower.

Wow, you have a level of patience orders of magnitude better than mine. You must have really wanted that shot.

Beautiful result. I don't think I could have done the job you did. I'd have given up after about five or ten minutes.

Keep on turning curses into blessings! It's a worthy endeavor.
