    Here's a photochop tip to make this one really stand out.......

    Isolate the bloom then inverse the selection. This will then have the background as your selection. Then burn down the backgroud. It will keep the focus on the bloom.

    use your magic wand or lasso tool to isolate the bloom.

    Then invert the selection

    Then use your Burn Tool (this is one way to do it) to darken the background.

    that's about it

    It's really quite simple

    Okay took Squats advice and chopped this. What you think now? Need more blur in the BG or is it good, I feel it might need just a little more, but is much better than original. You were right it was not to bad, jsut did not know how to do that!! I might be chopping more stuff now!!

    what I was referring to didn't mean to add more blur. I meant for you to darken the background. Use your Burn Tool

    10/4 I thought you said blur, now I see burn. I tired that, but didn't get close enough the the edge of the flower and it was not right. Will try again later when I can put some time in to it and not on the crappy lap top mouse pad! Thanks for the input!!
