Orchid again with droplets added

OK, OK, I know this wasn't really what we were supposed to be doing,
but I had to try it for comparison.

1)This is the SAME orchid, and I left the bud in, but fiddled with the
edges of it using a clone stamp and smudge tool to "sharpen the edges
of the out-of-focus bud.

2)then I added fake water droplets like this: using the elliptical
marquis tool, I selected a shape and darked the bottom of it with the
burn tool and made a highlight with the dodge tool.

The Fake Water Drop technique #1

I tried the tutorial which I'd posted on January 31 for fake PS water drops. It's a video designed for making fake bubbles in beer or water droplets on the glass. They are a little too regularly and not round enough to look real. I fiddled with it way too much, using liquify to make some of the bubbles bigger--it wasn't worth all that trouble.

This is the same orchid I posted earlier--I cloned out the out-of-focus bud.
