One of my favorite photos of this dragonfly. Topaz Adjust and Clean and 3 textures applied plus toning down the background clutter.

Judy, I really like this one. Just enough filter. The eyeballs are great and I like the bent vegetation. I think you did a great job with the BG. :)

Wonderful style and filter work, Judy. Love the detail in DF and stem.

Thanks everyone! Yes Topaz Clean worked well on the whole series that I took of this one dragonfly. And many other things too!

Thanks Denise! The background took a while finding the right textures and working with them.
