    Myer, I like the way this one came out. The DF and the BG are very pleasing. I might try to evict the one straight line on the left that is barely there and goes on a diagonal. I love the small flower and the punch of color it has.:)

    Nice image and application, Myer.

    Like the colors and the texture.

    Might crop the right to offset the subject a little from the center. But nice image.

    Whoa, I love this one a ton. Colors and the effect are sweet. If I had my druthers the yellow flower would have been in the lower right hand corner. The dead stalk through the flower is not a plus but all in all this is one fine image.

    Very nice use of those filters. I like that some finer detail in DF is still present. Good Work!

    Very nice effect, Myer. Nice detail in the DF and I like the soft painterly look to the BG. Personally I wish there wasn't the BG stem intersecting with the DF, but it's not a deal breaker. The flower adds a great touch to it. :)

    Yes, very nice Myer. I love the colors and treatment. I think your composition is fine and I love the background - it has an almost liquid feel to it.

    Myer, I like the image a lot. Love the colors and bg - agree about the one stem. It looks like frosted glass. Beautiful:)
