I started out with Topaz Clean, then Accent Edges and Fractalius Impressionist. I followed with a slight Nik Detail Extractor and finally Nik Color Stylizer to strengthen the pink color (it was pink anyway but light).
Thanks for looking:S3:

Nice image for the theme Cheryl, like it a lot. It seems a bit tight but thats just my impression
Cheryl, I like the DF and the pale color tone of the flower really pops off the BG. Paul has a good point regarding it feeling tight but I'm not sure I would have chosen a different comp. given that right petal.
This one has an almost psychedelic dream-like quality to it...like a scene from the movie "What Dreams May Come". It is a little tight to my eye...and I may have softened some of the water highlights behind the lily...but at the same time that is what adds to the dreamlike quality. Nicely done.
Hi Cheryl;
My eye goes right to the dragon fly and the petals of the flow, very interesting, tightness neve enters my thought process. Suggestions kick off my curiosity. however, I still love ithe way it is, a lovely interaction between the petals, dragon fly & pink.
Great processing.

Hi Cheryl, nice lily photo. I like the dragonfly best in this image...it adds a lot of interest. nicely processed too!
Very nice one, Cheryl. Love the little dragonfly. The processing is great.
This really pops, Cheryl! Great combination of processing. Wonderful combo of DF and Flower. :S3:
Hi Cheryl, I agree on the dragonfly, it really sets off the flower nicely. I would maybe try softening the edges of the flower and stem a bit.
I agree with others that it does have a surreal, dreamlike quality. Nice colors and processing. Love the dragonfly!
Very nicely done, Cheryl! Like the dragonfly and simplicity of composition. The dark BG really works well and it does have a dream like quality to it.
Good job getting this photo of the waterlily with the dragonfly! I like the composition and the crop. I would tone down the bright greens in the bg so they don't distract from the beauty of the flower and insect.
