I decided to run my mini-world action on this Poppy then added some blur to the BG and some minor tweaks. I first flipped the original image. I also added a gradient to the BG.

Denise,
Greetings. Interesting, almost Rorschach effect (I see faces ;) ). You might find a tighter vertical crop works... I found an 8x10 aspect cropping right, left & top interesting, adds a different 3D quality (tunnel rather than globe).
Cheers,
-Michael-
Sounds interesting Michael, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks:)
Very nice composition, Denise. I like the colors and details with the tunnel effect.
Nice try on the poppy story but you can't fool me; this is a fat easter duckling chick. All that you need to do is darken the green bill. Heck, I will do it myself and repost it:)
Whatever the heck it is, it is too cute and I love it. You need this one in the tutorial. Can we see the ORIG?

My new camera. Well,:) new to me
Very creative, denise. Love the colors and the composition. Hope you'll repost a tighter vertical crop - sounds interesting. And what is your mini-world action, please? Before my time here, I guess:)
Kora, Thanks. I wrote a tutorial a while back and posted it. I made an action out of it. I'll see if I can dig it up.:)
Would really appreciate that, denise. I love the effect:)
Beautiful image, Denise! I love the overall effect but the colors are what takes it over the top for me. It looks so SPRING!
