    Default Pink Myrtle Visitor

    Topaz Adjust and Pixel Bender, then I added Photo Looks Green Pearl diffusion layer and over that an HDR preset in TA masked and lowered opacity to bring back some detail in the flower and bee.

    Here's another version that might be better.

    I like the repost, Judy...you toned down the highlights in the BG and it was very effective. Nice job with PixelBender...beautiful, rich colors and the bee in flight makes the image. Nicely done!

    Thanks John! Yes I like the repost better. When the OP appeared here I thought it was too bright so I took the original version with just Topaz Adjust and PB and layered it over the OP and lowered opacity so that it has a bit more detail but is not so bright.

    Judy, I like the second one better... subdued white edges gives a softness to the image. Nicely processed.

    Another vote for the repost Judy. Beautiful soft colors enhanced by the filtering. I think the subdued highlights do look better.
