I give you my version of... winters petals.
I did very little processing. Selectively sharpening just the center. I added the sugar plum fairy texture from my 12 days of Christmas give-away. I changed the textures blend mode to soft light, bumped the yellow up a tad and added a vignette.
So my wish for you is to go out and find the unnoticed beauty in your everyday world.
On a separate note... No, I have not fallin off the face of the earth. LOL!
I am teaching an Beginner Elements class the last 2 weeks of January and I have been working on my lesson plans. Hopefully, I come up with a few goodies to share here. Hope the new year is treating you with lots of love.

A tip before I go. Do you know that you can use Ctrl + to zoom in on most web pages that you view. Try it on my blog. I do this all of the time. Some blogs fits nicely on my screen and some, I like the font a little larger. It works great when trying to read forums also. =)

What an absolutely gorgeous photo! Is the snow/sugar something you added or is it real? The texture you mentioned is the background right?
Hi Yaya.
It is frost on the flower and yes the texture shows in the background.
This beauty will no longer to unnoticed. It looks a painted work of art.
oh Iris... I already knew you were a sweetheart! Thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful Kimi! Good luck with your class too. Glad to hear you are doing well. :)
