Description

"Earth, 114 million years ago, one morning just after sunrise: The first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive the rays of the sun.
Using the word “enlightenment” in a wider sense than the conventionally accepted one, we could look upon flowers as the enlightenment of plants."
Taken from the book “A new earth” by Eckhart Tolle.

Tolle is the author of “The power of now”

Very nice end result and presentation.

At the end it all comes down to just that, does it not? ;)

Would really have liked to see the steps you took from your original photograph in order to end up with this. Maybe a step-by-step tutorial?

Although I still somehow find flowers a bit common subject you have done something interesting and delicate.

Looks like a painting! :) (thumbup)

moserArtist: I bet he did it all with lighting and just fixed a few spots :)

looks great, but I will have to take another look from my screen at home, cause the screen at work is really dark. but for now, it looks perfect :)

You are basically right Lenz.....Exposure was set to preserve the details on the white flowers, so most of the foliage was already dark, then a little work with levels and became darker....healed a few spots.....and then the usual 3 layers postprocessing.
