Snowdrops, as we already have seen on am3, announce the coming of Spring. I have two variations of this; they all have Glamor Glow applied.

NIKON D300 1/500 second F/4.5 ISO 400 157 mm (35mm equiv.)

This one has a nice dreamy feeling. As you can see by my blog today, I succumbed to the lure of spring blossoms. I like the edges you have been using lately - what plug-in have you been using!

@Harry: I have been using the frames in Silver Efex 2. For color shots, I use the Luminosity blend mode.
