Tear drop poppy

[MoinMoin]

I made this picture for a black forum background. But I hope, it will work here too:

Veru moce!

This is quite well done and extremely interesting
It's not in the critique forum so i won't critique this, but it's pretty close to being perfect to my eye.

Spectacular! I love the "out of bounds" effect.

Upppps – I didn’t thought, this way of work would be much liked (you know, pure photographer etc. ... ;-)). It is my.... third try to work with a tutorial, I’ve found on a german PS-site. One forum friend told me, to make the rain drops more shiny – anyone here to tell me, how I could get it so?

Oh – by they way: Please give me your helping critiques here Marco (!) – or would you shove this thread into the right zone? I am interested in all help, I can get. And... I’ve another work like this Marco – therefor I’ve “misused” your TYSON-picture. Am I allowed to show it in your thread?

My only comment would have been the bright stems at the left of the flower, they are a bit of a distraction to this fabulous image.

And... I’ve another work like this Marco – therefor I’ve “misused” your TYSON-picture. Am I allowed to show it in your thread?

ummm - i guess so now that ya piqued my curiosity, if there's a specific technique though, please educate us...thx!

You could maybe just add highlights manually?

[MoinMoin]

That's great MA! Did you use the rendering filter?

@Marco: I thought about that left stem - but wasn't quite sure. I guess I'll try to cut it out.
