Another purple flower b and w

Well, this is the same pic - just tweaked it a bit. U all know how I feel about manipulating my photos. I hate it!!!! But one of my dear friends manipulated my original and it looks amazing. Unfortunately, he and I are both stubborn as mules about who should post the beauty, so it will never be seen.....Bummer. I love it. Anyways, I did the unthinkable and messed around a lot with this and I loved how it turned out. I respect and appreciate his input as I adore his work so because he put a gun to my head and made me do this - j/k - I shall dedicate this to him. Oh, and please give me feedback guys. To my brother from another mother, I dedicate this to you darling.....
