Fractilia Floral
Uploaded: July 10, 2010
This Image Is Dedicated To Patti Coblentz.
When I Got My New Nikon D90
I Felt So Intimidated.
MANY PEOPLE GAVE ME TIPS and HELP
But Patti Sent Me Outside For A Photo Shoot.
I reported RIGHT BACK with RESULTS!
That Week, These Flowers Weren't Open Yet.
TODAY THEY WERE.
Patti, The Original Is Below.
If Not For You & Your Help It Wouldn't Be So Pretty!

I grow cosmos and really like them! A terrific image and effects, Swanee! #8745863Laura E. Swan July 10, 2010
Hi Early Pearl! I love cosmos so much! Glad you do, too. You know, my original is razor sharp. Don't know why it came out a bit fuzzy here? I didn't reduce it...? Humm...It's not the first time this has happened to me with my entries.ANYWAY STILL PRETTY RIGHT? :)
Thanks for the visit!

I am still on the learning curve with mine and probably the rest of my life LOL. Great shooting and affects.We are standing down today for a break. Been going now for close to three weeks. We have to do that now and then LOL.
Same kind of weather down here. It started out clear but now cloudy. Get the rain over before we get there.
Lucky day wifi seems to be better. #8746458

These are so pretty & bright! Well done!BTW, does your frac filter take forever to make changes when you use it? Mine does & I've even moved PS & the frac filter to a different (new) computer. It still hangs up & I end up cancelling it to try something different! Just wondering if you have the same problem. #8808824
