My final dahlia image - I promise. Sorry for so many flowers. I got a laptop (my first ever) and new photo editing software (Lightroom) so I've been watching tutorials and trying to make sense of it all. I'm slowing figuring things out but it's time consuming!

[Bill Fenske]

beautiful capture, Kim. I really like the b/w edit. I highly recommend Scott Kelby's Lightroom book. https://www.amazon.com/Photoshop-Lightroom-Digital-Photographers-Voices/dp/0133979792

[Lou Ann]

This is amazing. It looks nothing like a flower, to me anyway.

[Taffy]

It makes for an interesting abstract. You'll love lightroom! It's great for organizing photos and the processing is really powerful. I look forward to what you do with it!

[Carole G]

I feel your pain! I'm just getting to grips with lightroom too. I just discovered how to make collections today.

[gloria jones]

I, too, think this image makes for a great abstract :).

[eDorre]

Very cool.

[KWind]

@bill_fe Thanks, Bill. I'll check it out.

[Diana]

Fabulous capture. You sound like me, as I also have it all new and am trying to get to grips with it;-)

[Debs Stott]

It's so abstract - I love it. Good luck with your new gear and LR. You will spend hours but I'm confident that you will end up liking it!

[Connie Little]

Wonderful black and white image.

[PhylM-S]

Beautiful! Glad you're enjoying LR and laptop! Beautiful results from all of it!

[Louise & Ken]

Beautiful image!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Great work you did, Kim!

[Issi Bannerman]

What a beautiful capture. The beads of water look like mercury.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a beautiful b/w abstract !

It looks a new galaxy, far, far, away. Cool.

Wonderful abstract!

[bkb in the city]

Very nice shot

[Dione Giorgio]

I am rarely able to under instructions. Usually its by trial and error that I get to grips with something new. Great use of b&w here.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[carol white]

A lovely abstract effect

Beautiful. I like that droplet that is defying gravity, and clinging on.

[Megan]

What hardware/software were you using before for processing?

[KWind]

@ludgate I used to use Aperture but now I'm using Lightroom.

[Helen Jane]

Marvellous results. Your study is definitely going to pay off. I love this.

[haskar]

Well done.

Fantastic. Love the processing.
