Cone Flower II

[John Storjohann]

Same flower, didn't take on it...taken just moments after the original. Tweaked the processing just a bit...after using Fractalius (low opacity layer) and Simplify->BuzzSim, I added a third layer of Topaz Detail (micro-enhancement) and painted it in over a few areas from a mask.

I prefer this ver. Nice balance and great background. Pleasing composition.

John, I really like the "glow-lines" on the hot pink petals and those little yellow ones radiating from the top of the flower. It almost vibrates with energy!

[Cheryl Slechta]

John, I like this composition a lot and love the vibrant look that you got from fractalius. I especially love the little starburst twinkle in the lower right center (of the cone). (For lack of a scientific name).

John, Beautiful color palette and glow. I like the composition too.

[Bob Miller]

John....I like both images but this one is my favorite. I prefer the composition and the greater feeling of energy.
