Thanks so much, John.... that's one of my hens & chicks, when they flower, they die and I have 19 that will be flowering and leaving me this year... :-(
Will you please pm me and tell me how the hell you do this? Because I WANT TO DO THIS.
Well, I'm not giving away my secrets.... but I did use a 50mm lens with a 12mm extension tube... and you get this amazing blur and for the second shot, I just added a texture layer.
