    Used one of the painting presets in Simplify3 to everything but the eye, which I selected and increased saturation only. Close to full frame photo.
    comments and critique welcomed. (I know it is tight in the frame, it was my intent) regards~Bill

    Wow, you got close! Cool shot. The wild, bold colors remind me of the 60s artwork.

    The tightness in the frame goes well with the bright colors and painterly look.

    Bill, You really do a nice job with the different filters. It's nice to see you change it up a bit. Very nice eye and the colors are fun and lively.

    Nice image and application, Bill.

    Like the colors and the full frame shot. I might have added a little canvas to the RB to get the eye off-center. But nice as is.

    Excellent up close view, Bill. Like the eye. Not sure whether I like the bright colors or not. Part of me would like to see more natural-looking colors, but on the other hand, they do seem to fit the image somehow.
