Took this shot in Brookside Gardens during a light rain. It has been rendered a digital creation using the dry brush filter in Photoshop after significant cloning and selective area tone adjustments of the base image. I was striving to make it appear that the blossom and leaf on the right of the blossom were coming out of the plane of the image. This is a digital art creation produced using the artistic dry brush filter in Photoshop CS2.
Tomorrow I was share another shot of the Mandevilla blossoms on a wrought iron frame.

This one is not obviously digital art. The effect is subtle. I like all the detail in the blossom.
