For a change of pace, A Morning's Cuppa (above), is a nearly straightforward shot. All I did to it was crop in close, ever so slightly saturate the colors to bring out that little warm glow, and "paint" out two tiny distracting bright spots among the leaves. (By the way, both photos posted today were taken a week ago among the last of our roses for this year.)

Earth Dragon Rising (immediately above), well, what can or should I say about this one? Rather typical of my usual inclination when editing flower center pictures. It's another of those that I'm sure I'll go back to the original for and try again. In "Earth Dragon Rising" I was trying to further bring out the contrast among those intriguing shapes (also my usual tendency when editing).
