Excellent Milanie love the ice around the edges of the plant and the swirling background is a nice touch! Did you use a filter? Great imagination... FAV
@skskunky After I cropped it, I used a blur filter on the background in Adobe Photoshop. Little by little I'm venturing into a few trials in Photoshop (now that I've learned how easy it is to undo!)
@cybelle Just used Adobe Photoshop - highlighted the area I didn't want affected, hit inverse, then under filters there's a blur setting - and a sub heading there is radial. 1 minute and you're done I was surprised at how easy it was. I have an old version of Photoshop but it still does everything of the limited stuff I know how to do.
@pammerritt Using Photoshop I lassoed those leaves being sure I got all of them I wanted uneffected, then hit inverse (under select) which protected the leaves and blurred the rest.
