When I shot this dahlia last summer, my main focus was to bring out the brushed lavender on the petals.
When I looked at the enlarged version on my computer screen, I noticed the central disk was a bit blurry.
This made the image perfect to try out InFocus by Topaz Labs.
When you look at a full size print, every detail is important.

The brushwork for the Colorcade Lilac is finished.
I am now in the proofing phase so prints are not available yet.
I’ve learned a great deal during this project, and you might notice the difference in my work.
I rely less on filters and more on brushes.

N.B: Take note that the pixelation is from the watermark at the lowest setting.
Next time I’ll fade it.
When people visit my home and see the Sprekelia on canvas for the first time, they move closer to see the finer details.
When I visit a gallery, I look at the artwork at the appropriate distance then I move closer.
I’ve noticed many other visitors do the same thing.
Now I will offer you that view.
