Flower pic

This was the original picture we were given...

and this is what I did to the picture.

I washed out the picture, because I like how it made the colors brighter; I think that makes it more interesting to look at, and almost makes it seem like it's not real... which it isn't... :)

I cropped the picture in close on the flower because I wanted it to be the focal point. To me, this picture gives a more dramatic effect than the original, which just sort of seems like a nice, sweet picture of a cute pink flower on an envelope. My picture evokes a stronger feeling from the person who's looking at it because it contrasts more with the white background of the envelope.
