In my attempt to vary my subject matter, here’s my creative effort…
A blast of color…
And my Best Shot for today…one of the many blossoms on my Mother’s Day primrose. What’s blooming in your world today?

Umm . . . love your B & W treatment to your first shot. I really need to try that. Isn’t it amazing that a simple flower can be so beautiful. Nice work.
Gorgeous…I can’t decide which of the first two I like better…thanks for posting both 🙂
I have to admit I’m usually not a big fan of selective color…but it works SO WELL on that first one! Love it!
I really love that! What a fascinating way to make something familiar look so new.
Love the selective color on that first shot. Very nice!
They are each gorgeous, but you know, I love your editing of the first shot. Really love it.
I really love the first two!!
What a great site this is. I am a fan and simply love the way it looks.
The first one is my favorite!

What gorgeous flowers! I love the editing on the first shot — it is a great use of selective color!
To answer your question about the collage — I just used photoshop to make it (an ANCIENT version of photoshop at that). I just created a new file, and sized it at 12×12 (although you can use any size you want) and then just cut and pasted from shots that I wanted to use (I did any processing on the shots before cutting and pasting them in). Then I just flattened all the layers and that was it — it actually was really easy (I’m not very good at photoshop) and only took a few minutes.
