    This photo started out as a starfish from a shell shop laid on a hotel balcony table after a rain. When I got it home I processed it in fractilius twice and then used color efex ( color range contrast ?) to finish it off!

    Great idea, Bob, and I like the combination of filters you used. The fractalius is just right and I like the colors of the starfish reflected in the water on the top, rhs and bottom right.

    I like it a lot, Bob, particularly the water. I think you may have lost some detail in the whites toward the center of the starfish.

    Really like what you did here. 3D effect. Starfish pops up off the table and glows with light.

    Bob, I love the quality of the light in this image and the gold metallic tones of the starfish. The water really adds interest and the reflected colors look great.

    I like the tones in the image, and the drops really add to the overall feel.

    I like it! Simple yet complicated. Great idea to put it on the wet table--worked out well.
