You've got it working for you! Just beautiful!

Wish you'd been along with us tonight...your ears should have been burning as we folks in OC talked about "Taffy in Chicago"! How cool is it that we're all actually meeting one another now! (Elizabeth and I send ♥)

Very delicate Taffy, this is a lovely gentle shot of such an interesting orchid. You've sure got the hang of TTE pdq.
January 28th, 2016  
Beautiful.

@Weezilou Aw....I love it. Has Elizabeth thought about joining us in Chicago?

The background goes with this nicely.

Taffy, this shot just works on so many levels! It has depth, texture and great color! Fav!
January 28th, 2016  
Beautiful. The recent flurry of "Topaz" activity has caused me to take a look at it... this works so well, to highlight the main blossom.
January 28th, 2016  
The background really adds to the photo. Beautiful.
January 28th, 2016  
@rosiekerr I highly recommend it. It opens a whole new array of possibilities.
January 28th, 2016  
This is gorgeous Taffy! Love everything about it.
January 28th, 2016

Orchids are so beautiful, and your processing is awesome!

Beautiful orchid, Taffy, and great processing. Topaz sounds such fun. Have just bought the Enlight app and am enjoying playing with it, but I have such a lot to learn! Happy times!
January 28th, 2016  
Such a lovely image :)
January 28th, 2016  
Gorgeous image. Lilac is one of my favourite colours.
January 28th, 2016  
fabulous texture indeed. I like how it's not on the actual bloom itself.
January 28th, 2016  
I'm the same as Rosie @rosiekerr with all the photos showing up with topaz I downloaded it last night and looked at it briefly. What section are the textures under? I found lots of other tools to play with but didn't see the one thing I was looking for!
January 28th, 2016  
Gorgeous image and excellent processing.
January 28th, 2016  
amazing flower...great processing
January 28th, 2016  
I love the image and the processing. Perhaps you might pop it up just a tiny bit in Photoshop to lighten/brighten.
January 28th, 2016  
Fabulous!Love it!fav
January 28th, 2016

January 28th, 2016  
Beautiful capture and processing.

@dianen I ordered only Topaz Texture Effects. If you have the whole Topaz package, it should be one of the features. If not, I'd email them and have them guide you to where it is and possible exchange it for what you downloaded. They are usually pretty responsive.
January 28th, 2016  
Lovely, the texture works well, fav
January 28th, 2016  
Wow!! What program are you using for this Taffy? Fav!

great orchid and what a fantastic background you've made.

Oooo, I just saw this Taffy...it's gorgeous! Such artistic processing! Definitely looks like a piece of artwork that one would hang on a wall.
January 28th, 2016  
Love the colours in this one, the texture works perfectly and I really like your composition.

I like how the hues in the background are a subtle echo of those in the moth orchid. Very nicely done.

Love seeing your results with Topaz. I downloaded it before my long plane trip and had a go. Think I'll gradually get the hang of it, and this orchid is the kind of thing I would love to produce :)

@pistache Thanks Clare! This is the one I'm most proud of. I want to learn to do the nature backgrounds like @jgpittenger has done -- they are wonderful, but I'm enjoying learning the process for now. I've taken a bit of a break until I get some new photographs to work with. I'm working on it, but not posting the results (I've not done as well as I did with the flowers!).
