Default Using a magnifying glass .....
Well I didn't use it when taking the shots but what I have done is add a magnifying glass in PP and merged it with the original shot to enhance the focal point.

What do you think?

Here are a couple of examples

Blossom magnified

Magnified

Then I thought I could show the blossom a little differently

Blossoms

plus ............

Bornean Orang utans

What a very creative way to enhance your gorgeous photographs Bernz. I love them all but the first one is a stunner and the composition is excellent. Beautiful work buddy.

Dave.

Bernz You are so Creative! How in the world do you merge a Magnifying Glass in Photo Shop? These are all Very Well done, I love the last Collage. Thats a wall hanger.
