Although there were not as many entries this week, those that were submitted are all worthy of mention for Image of the Week. I really enjoyed seeing so many beautiful floral images, one of my favourite subjects. Here are my favourites:

Flower Power by Kathy Lee

Flower Power by Kathy Lee, on Flickr

I absolutely love flower pictures and this one really caught my eye. I like the way the veins show up in the petals with the back lighting, and the soft colours in the background

African Elephant by Dan DellaChiesa

A great example of ‘Less is More’, this is a great close up and beautifully processed to show the old jumbos crusty hide and wrinkles

Summer Evening Scene in Tokyo by Sydney

What a lovely colourful image, that little hole in the wall eatery looks so inviting. Did you eat there?

Zinnia by tpgettys

Another floral beauty, I like the way you have repeated the flower pattern for your background, and the colours just pop. This would make a pretty greeting card

And having said I love flowers, its not surprising that my choice for Image of the Week is

Poppy in Sunset by Madame

The poppy is such a simple uncomplicated flower but one of the most beautiful in my mind. I love the vibrant colour and sharpness, what a stunning capture Marianne

Thanks for the nod Pauline! Marianne, your poppy definitely is a worthy IOW! There were some fine images this week, that's for sure.

Actually, I did use my image for a greeting card. The flowers in the background were really there, so I just had to select the one and replace the colors with the complement of the Orange, a favorite technique.

Perhaps you could share this technique at some time as a Creative Effects Tutorial.

There was probably one at the old EV, but I got caught out when it closed prematurely and had not managed to save so many of the great tuts. Lesson learned, now when I see something I think I will use in the future I immediately copy it to OneNote, I already have a few tuts and tips in my library.
