My pink camellia is finally blooming. It blooms long after the others and it's my favorite of the three in my yard.

Thank you all for your comments. Jo, this was done with the "dry rag" effect in the impressionist filter. I think I downloaded this some time ago from Adobe Exchange. Do this: Ctrl-J. With soft-edge brush, erase portions of the copy that you want to be in focus. This is one of those situations where the color of the pine straw, used as mulch under the camellia bush, and gray with the dry winter weather, complemented the pink of the flower. Nature knows how to blend the right colors together in the right season! I do love pink and gray together.
