Not sure that I follow what you did but I love the result. You lead the viewer's eye around the image. I especially love the three buds (???) in the lower part of the image. And the black BKGR.

Thanks so much for your comments, Arthur. Really appreciated. I found it a bit hard to explain what I did. The Alien Skin 'drip' filter gave it the streaky look. And I added black canvas to the left side and pulled the bottom layer across and lowered the opacity. The top duplicated layer was selectively sharpened and dodged. K
Kora, Really nice effect. It looks like an in camera blur. The comp and colors are nice also.
Hi Kora, I am new to this filter stuff. I am just glad that Denise taught me Fractalius :)Originally Posted by Kora Baker

Very nice, Kora! I like how the eye follows the red "pokers" in the foreground to the ones in the back.

Very nice Kora like the red ob black. I might crop in even tighter (from the left) to give it a tall vertical look. Nicely done.
denise, Gerry and Jackie, your comments are very much appreciated. Thank you. I like the idea of cropping left, Jackie:) Kora
Wonderful, intense colors Kora! I love the boldness of the image yet it still retains its soft floral side as well. Very nice work!
Many thanks, Jules. I enjoyed playing with it:)K
Kora, really nice colors and composition. It does look like an incamera blur:)

Thanks so much, Cheryl. Any in camera blur was because of shakey hands:). I don't get much opportunity to use my tripod. Kora
This is really pretty. Nice work Kora! Love the dream-like plants with the black background.
