I did this a few days ago. I think I used Topaz Clean and a native Ps filter on it like paint daubs. I added a dark green texture with darker edges and masked the flower. I also added a texture to make it resemble watercolor paper. I thought of cropping some off the bottom, what do you think?

Judy, I love the filtering you did on this one. Beautiful blossoms. I think I agree with you that a little off the bottom would help, perhaps to eliminate the darkest areas? Very nice work!

Judy, I like this a lot. I might crop a sliver but no more off the bottom. I like seeing some stems it kind of anchors it to me. Nice job with the filter.:S3:

Hi Judy, nice application of one of my favorite filters. I'm liking the effect and colors. I agree that you don't need much off the bottom, better to my eye to extend the stems that disappear into black to the bottom of the frame. I think this would be pretty easy and would make for a stronger image. Thanks for posting Judy!

Very lovely lighting and painted look, Judy. Definitely looks better with a little off the bottom. Nice work!
