    Default Neon Lotus

    I duplicated the layer I was working on and I used linear burn mode and it looked about like this but with some green spots in the background so I painted them out. Then I applied Nik glamour glow to soften it a little.

    Very striking image, Judy! The deep rich colors are great and the black background was an excellent choice. I would not change a thing. Love it!

    I really like these bold colors. It's a very nice striking effect.

    Hi Judy......Striking Neon effect! I think I would try softening it some more! You might consider taking a bit off the bottom!

    Beautiful composition, Judy. Love the colors and the effect along with those lines on the petals. Wonderful light. Excellent work.

    Count me as odd man out.... That brightest pink petal is just too bright and garish for me. And the contrast is a bit over the top as well leaving the green stem too dark. Sharpness and image design are fine.
