Help! Make my flowers "stand out a little more!"

[Kingboy_D]

As you may or may not know I do web design on a freelance basis. In my latest project for a Flower specialist I've made a design that is a whisker-hair away from being approved, but the cutomer wants the white flowers in the image (a photo i used simply to illustrate what could perhaps go there) to"stand out a little more". I've tried to make them stand out more by playing with the contrast/brightness, but they turned out rubbish. Can anyone help!

ASAP if possible!

Drop shadow, or glowing edges?

How about a little bit of over painting with the burn tool, just to darken off the petals that are blending into the background.

Yes I know Im no artist

I've tried it with a drop shadow and it looks a bit tacky, the flowers look flat and they should look three dimensional. Glow is much the same. I'm kind of hoping for a magic filter in photoshop that will somehow make it all better.

some psp tinkering produced this...



sorry, biggish file, minimising jped compression... maybe still a bit blurry round the edges too?

Image - adjust -  Shadow/highlight?



There are a load of extra options available.

edit: I appear to have fucked up this post,

to start again.

What about a vector outline and then play around with colour, pattern or gradient fills?

I can't remember what my original post said now...

I agree with Santa further down the page though.

just saw this, did a bit of levels, saturation, and overlaid a clourburn for good measure, the edges still look a bit pal, but, without more time...yada yada

Put a very slight dropshadow on them, with the shadow going out towards the top left, and spread it out loads.  Then show him both side by side and point out that the original looks better, and that it's largely the fact that the white flowers blend in that makes the site look aestheticly delicate - which is the impression that as a flower seller he wants to give.

Thought it was a good design, btw.

I changed the design a bit to add narrative and also provide a way of outlining the flowers.
