I like soft focus and that dreamy look in my flower images. On this one I used Nik software to add the look I like.

Super! I like it even better than the straight shot in Photo Gallery :)

Which Nik filter/s? I have the collection and am madly in love with Color Efex and Silver Efex.

Here's my process on this flower.
1. Do the initial PP in Camera Raw
2. Take the image into color efex by nik
3. Add a frame (opt), add tone contrast, then add classic soft focus and glamour glow in the portrait menu.

I use glamour glow on my images a lot. It is such a super effect it can be used on a variety of images. Try it and let me know what you think.

Thanks so much. I've used glow a bit, once in conjunction with the midnight filter - one of my favorites :)

A beautiful shot made even more so by your expert use of Nik. And welcome to closeup!
