Lots of post work on this one. It was nice to start with but the colors were really muddled and a bit underexposed so I lightened, brightened and, finally, added the illustrated action. Not sure I love the dark vignette in the top corners but the white up there was too harsh. Comments?
Wow. I was grabbed by the thumbnail and the posted image is even better. Love the mood and the oof blossom in the back. Had you moved about a small step to your right the main flower would have hidden the bright leave immediately to its left and would have created a more pleasing juxtaposition with more space between the main blossom and the oof one. Lastly, you might try a tad darker with the middle tones. All in all I love it.
Hi Julie would also suggest having he flower come up at an angle Really like the oof on the bg !!! Excellent !!!
Very nice Julie! The illustration action is just detectable for me on the front flower, its like a detailed watercolor painting. You could easliy remove the dark corners, but they are ok to me. Did you use the "one click" version of the action on a fairly large file? I have found that with this version, if you resize the image down to 1200 or even 800kb on a side, then run the action, that the illustration effect is more pronounced. The smaller the more illustrated! This gives you a little control of the final product.

Thanks Dan! I wondered why some of these images didn't "illustrate" as much as others...now I know!
Every effect you use will be more noticeable the smaller the file. It also happens with PS creative filters.
Very much alive and vibrant, Julie, congrats!
