Theme attempt. Had fun trying:)
CS5-Add canvas, rotate, content-aware fill, vari-opacity multiply layers of find edges, artistic palette knife.
Asked lots of folks what these were. Best guess... Wild Violet (before they open)
Look forward to your C&C.

Steve, I love the effect you created w/ the combination of filters. I might add a tiny bit more of the green leaf to the LLC if it were mine. Love the colors!:)

Nice image and application, Steve.
I like the image as is, but I might darken the image and bring back an area with the spotlight feature in PS. But ... your image ... your vision.

Steve, I love the colours - really lovely, but I might darken the BG some.
Best,

Hi Steve, I like the colors and textures in this one. The composition is quite nice too! As mentioned by others, a little darker BG would give this more of the theme look.

Thanks Kerry and Patti!
I am always eager to try new techniques. The repost involved adding some leaf in LLC - an initial spotlight attempt in CS5 and then some dodging and burning. A darker mood, but perhaps closer to the theme.

Looks good Steve.
You might want to retitle it! ;) :D But otherwise very nice... :cool:
