    Took this shot of what I think is a blooming banana plant and added a texture from some wall art taken in Mexico. I used Topaz Simplify> Underpaint, did a surface blure, then added the texture for the bg, and finally poster edges.

    I like the entire treatment, but the colors are especially good. The combination of curving (mostly the fish but also the petals) and nearly straight lines is very effective.

    So that's what an octopus's garden looks like! Very cool graphic look and colors. Well done Jackie! I'm thinking this is actually the pods on some seaweed?

    Love the combination of the bold shapes and colors against the variegated background colors and subtle shapes. This would look fabulous printed LARGE.

    Jackie, I love what you did here. The fishes are my favorite part but I love the colors and the diagonal.
