Using a different kind of lightbox. If anyone is interested in this technique, I learned it from Harold Davis.

Each image was made from a stack of several, so I haven't included settings. Please try the DLs or double DL. Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed this new technique.

Gorgeous Donna! I took a quick glance at the "how to". His work is very interesting but you have absolutely nailed the technique!

Thank you so much, Carol. It's one of the most rewarding techniques I've found in quite a while, and I love the way the light shines through the petals. I'm so glad you enjoyed them.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Angela. I thought you might like these, and I know you'd love doing them. I used shots stacked in layers, but I think you could pull it off with only one shot. I'll have to experiment and see. I'm just thrilled that you enjoyed them and bamboozled by that long line of thumbsup!!!

Gorgeous, Donna. I love all of these & it would be difficult to isolate a 'best one'.

Thank you for such a lovely comment, Linda. I think this technique is going to be a keeper. The main thing is that it's just plain fun to do.
