HOLDING OUT HOPE

"Holding Out Hope" (11-19-09 8259ev2) is an old morph of an even older photo that I just tweaked some more today. I'm not really at ease with it yet, but there's only so much I find I can do to a photo before it falls apart (metaphorically speaking) completely. So I thought I'd stop fussing at this one while it's still cohesive and holding interest for me. I'm probably most drawn by the colors, and I know I like the watercolor effect (not a filter, but the end result of lots of other things I did to it years ago in my pre-Photoshop days). BTW, those curving shapes were there in the original pic; they're the "unwinding" center petals of a rose. I much prefer going with the shapes already present in a pic, to using Photoshop to reshape them (though I do find that fun, too).
