Thanks liVe,

The original was just too busy for me...overlapping flowers, etc... I didn't take my time in PS, therefore the petal edges aren't "true" and I had to bring the resolution down from 600 to 100ppi to post, therefore the raindrops and veins aren't as distinct as the original, which is here:


Also, I see in your profile that you are a landscape photographer. I live in Germany and would like to get into the business (I am building a house I need to help pay for.) Do you have any suggestions as to where/how I might break into the trade?

Thanks for the feedback on the picture and any advice you might have.
