Used an original flower photo and changed the background - not the greatest example of PP but thought it turned out not too bad.
I think your artistic effort is at 100% but your technical skills still need honing a bit. Also, the flower was not sharp. I do love what you were attempting to achieve.

I love it Bill, it's light and airy. I immediately felt warmth on my cheek and a slight breeze of a late spring day. Keep up your good work. Bev

With its color, harmony, and concept, that would be a marvelous illustration! A new career?

Very good, I like the softness behind the flower. Could be used for a card... 
Thanks nanaval.

Thanks via the lens - and for the helpful critique. Not always possible to get utter sharpness on a white flower as they rarely are well defined in real life.

Very nice. I see that there is some lens flare. Maybe in the background image. Either way, it adds to the photo in this case. Highlighting the flower a bit more might be just the ticket to finishing off this fine photo.

Could be an illustration in a children's book or some other light, breezy publication! Very nice.

Thanks Erich - someone else has made that observation - I will have another look.

Every time you try a PP process you are learning and getting better. Even the fails. Trust me I have had many of those. 😀

I think it's well done but I must add, it could be improved in the edge work, e.g. the petals on the flowers.
