Perfume Delight with a bronze treatment.

I'm not one for playing with the colour and saturation to the point that the subject is completely different from the original. However I gave this image the Topaz Detail treatment, and used Photo Filter in PS CS5 to turn Perfume Delight into Bronze Bloom. I love this flower... great shape and stem, and a scent that can make you dizzy on a hot day.

I am happy how the image looks, but still a part of me says "That's not real!"

The original is here as well. Shot with Modded Canon 450D, Helios- 44M-4 58mm lens @ f2, 1/64 sec, ISO 800. I have had that lens when I bought a Zennit Photosniper second hand 25 years ago (?). I think that this is the first time I've actually used it. I have to work out how I can get use of the aperture adjustment.

Thanks for looking.
