    This is a walkway at Bosque, leading to "the blind". I saw this play of light and geometrical patterns and captured this composition in the camera (no, it didn't look like this at the time!). Nik CEP was used with the "Detail Stylizer" preset as a starting point. The filter did such amazing things with the image, I thought I would post the original as well.

    Detail suffered at 46 quality...

    Well, I like both of them, though I might prefer the original Wonderful colors and designs in the processed one. Wish there was more on the lower half. Nicely seen and captured image.

    Kerry, I just love what you did here. Great use of lines and color. That is noy an easy filter to work with but when it is matched with the right photo it can be terrific. This might also look nice w/ a slice off the top.

    Kerry.....wow! what a difference that filter made. Not only are the colors amazing, I really like what the filter did to the wood in the fg. I will give this filter a try in the future! TFS

    Kerry, I like BOTH images...with the filtered one my favorite of the two. I agree with Denise...using that filter is not easy...I've yet to apply it to an image where I was happy with the results...but what you've done here is pretty cool. It almost looks like colored glass or plastic inserts between the railings! I also think a smidge off the top might help...nice job!

    Excellent composition and I too like the original. I haven't used Nik but the effect looks awesome.

    I like the processed version better but only 38,000 times more. The vertical fence posts are too much!
