Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate it! Janet, the flower was resting on a piece of yellow paper. In PS CS, I used auto levels then iCorrect EditLab and this is the result. So, Patricia, the shadow of the petals ended up as a shade of green rather than grey. #949213
