2 layers has been used for this image .
the 1st one : crop , and fractalius filter.
the 2nd one : the BG has removed with the topaz remask , i have use the smudge tool to drag the green line from the leef , the effect with the little flowers has added with the KPT effects , drop shadows , saturation and final tuch with hi pass filter .
Man, Kostas, you really have your own vision and I am really growing to love seeing what you'll come up with next. This really has so much imagination to it! The only thing I can think to add would be that I would probably have cloned out the cut off flower on the left side of the frame (or included the entire thing - one or the two.) Very unique and interesting image.
I like the effect in this case as it is not overpowering, or changing the image sigificantly.
Nicely done.
The only thing I would consider, if it were mine, is a little more room above the top flower on the left. It seem a little tight, but the composition otherwise is very nice.
