Here is an image of a Queen Palm bloom that I posted previously... This time I used a new Photoshop finishing touch named "two-photo effect"...... What do you think?????

To me it looks a little cheap.
However Jerry, I loved your comments on Chen's Chinese girl

"Nice chen! Nice image, nice model - what props???:-)"

And they say Americans don't do irony.

Well, er... I'm not a fan of special effects. Call me a stuffy old fart :) I like the bloom itself.

I'm with MJ (Monterey John) on this one - the original was very beautiful, and such an unusual plant I remember leaving a comment. Basically, the background image resembles a large watermark (i.e. option to place an image behind text in the various MSN Office and Works apps for web pages) - and the effect has its place, but here ... like this ...? I do this sort of thing at 2.00am when I should be in bed, but can't stop playing with the photo software ...

hello jerry,

you've been framed! LOL! I think it's really creative and beautiful. I will check out the link and see... I'm not sure though if I'll have the patience to do it. I can only do quick fixes on mine.

(I hope this post... I've been trying several times.)
