    Default PB Florida White

    My first PB attempt - it's really fun to use! I used 2 layers of Oil Paint - 1 for the overall image and then another for the bg. Then Nik Skylight and slight Topaz Simplify. And USM at the end.
    Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated

    Cheryl, this is a wonderful image, first attempt or not! Beautiful filter effect on the butterfly...great texture in the wings, good detail in the whites...and an incredible job on the BG. I'd be tempted to evict the one white petal/leaf on the right hand side..or to tone it down a bit...my eye is constantly drawn to it...and I might evict the top half of the stem on the RHS where it is cut off by the framing. I hope to see more PB work from you!

    Cheryl, I love this one! John has already made two very good suggestions. I like how you combined the filters. I think it adds nicely to the look. Great job esp. for the first attempt.

    John and Denise, thanks for your comments. I knew they were problematic but was rushing to do the Topaz B&W webinar Hopefully this is an improvement.

    Very nice filtering on the bg and the butterfly! Nice colors too. I think you have a winner for your first try. The repost looks great.

    Repost is lovely. The BG is especially beautiful, as are the wings of the butterfly. The butterfly stands out nicely. Well done.
