@Jen: CAN'T wait to see those hibiscus'!! You are soooo lucky to live in a climate where you can grow things like that in your yard. Thanks my friend!! No problem about late visits... it's summer and we're all busy!

Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

The blur gives this a Lensbaby effect. Nicely done.

@Roberta: Thanks Roberta!! I just stole the idea from your canola field shot... ;-)

Kaushal from Groningen, Netherlands

WOW! Wonderfully done! How did you capture this one?
Thanks for your encouragement!

@Kaushal: Hey Kaushal! It's just a regular shot but in PS I added a radial blur to give it the eye popping look. Thanks for visiting, eh?!!!

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Now this is what i would call FANTASTIC processing, try using the ellipse tool to mark that circle and then invert the selection to apply the radial blur. This would leave the centre really sharp, and will make it more interesting. Sorry for catching up later on your gorgeous work pal, i was away golfing on the weekend. ;-)

@Rahul: Didn't know I could do that to control the blur more... THANKS! Will have to try that to get a better effect.

No problem with catching up late... we all have a life outside the blogs. I know that's hard to believe (LOL)... Hope the golf was good. As they say, a bad day on the course beats any good day at work!! LOL

Robert from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

Beautiful, Amy. I've never seen a daisy look so fine. Love the blurring effect.

@Robert: Thanks Robert!! ... which doesn't even equate to how much I appreciate your visits and comments.
