Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a photo of a tulip I made awhile back while trying to get a handle on the Fractalius program. I showed it to a friend at work and he couldn't tell it was a tulip - thought it was just another of my abstracts so maybe I went a little too far? I love the glow that eminates from the middle of the flower, though. I applied a vignette around the top edge and sides to focus the attention on the bottom area of the flower.

Canon 40D, EF 100mm macro lens
f5.0 @ 1/40th, ISO 400
Applied Fractalius random settings if I remember correctly.

i love it, jules! very moody!! happy valentine's day!!!!

Hi Julie, I think it's easily recognizable and well done. Good filter app and a happy valentines day to you.....

Nice image and application, Jules.

Nice color and use of the filter.

Beautifully done!
You might try toning down the color in your credit line at upper right.

Thanks gentlemen! Happy V Day to you all as well. :)

Stuart, that was one of those rare moments where I was playing with the text options and I went a little crazy. :D

Jules, Way to rock out Fractalius. Beautiful colors and glow! I love it!!:)

Just lovely Jules! Happy Valentine's Day to you too and all at BPN!

Good Frac Jules, love your sig too. HVD to you too!

Have a great day Jules...

Gorgeous colors and light! I don't think you went overboard with fractilus. I would use less vignetting at the top, especially top left. I like the angle and the crop. Well done. :)
