Photo Art Friday - Cosmic Flower

It's Friday and time once again to join Bonnie (Pixel Dust Photo Art) for the long awaited Photo Art Friday - Flower Art Edition. 
 
I worked on this piece several weeks ago when I knew what the theme was going to be. 
 
Click to enlarge.

 
 

 
This is a tall zinnia from my flowers this year.  I used one of Bonnie's textures (I'm not sure which one now though :o(    I should write them down as I go) and then added a picture of some clouds I took and edited in Pic Monkey to look like a water color painting.  I also used several special effects off of PM to add the twinkling stars and the rays of light.

Don't forget to stop by Bonnie's blog and check out the other awesome flower photo art.  You'll be glad you did.

    Really nice...I thought it was a lily pad in the water...I have never actually SEEN a lily pad in the water, but this is what I imagined it to look like.

    Lovely texturization! And I really like the kind of under-water effect you get with the clouds and the rays - it makes for an intriguing image!

    Glorious, Ida! It does look like a watercolor - and for a second I thought of a flower planet floating in space. Always a treat to see your digital artistry.

    That is really cool, Ida, the way the sun's rays filter through the clouds and land on the zinnia. I like the twinkly stars too.

    Wow, what a lovely interpretive piece ... Visually thought provoking. And the beauty of the flower stands on it's own. Very nice ...
