Flowers

I have found that I love focusing on the middle subject in a photo.  I had three different bouquets, front to back in graduating heights.  The middle green flower dominated the grouping so I made it central to the photo.  In Photoshop Elements, I duplicated the image two times for a total of three.  The middle photo I changed to multiply and adjusted the opacity, and the top one I applied a Gaussian blur.  The next step was to link the top layer to the middle.  I then merged all of the layers and applied a creamy layer around the outside by adding a solid layer, selecting a border then feathering at 25px, backspacing that center, then adjusting the opacity of the border.
