It took me a great deal of time to mask off what I wanted. I had hoped someone out there would have a wonderful route that would allow me to mask a large area that had noise. I know there are always many routes to get to a similar end but I cannot seems to figure an easy path on this one. Anyway, when I continued to layer this one flower I am ending with this final image. It is all from one picture of a tulip.

Please give your opinion on this image.
