Explosion of Yellow
A got a bit wild and crazy with this one. It was a yellow tulip. Several different filters that I cannot remember right now, boosted the saturation, small crop.

  Ah, the Wild & Crazy Guy has resurfaced! I have little doubt that you can't remember how you did this. :)

Perhaps you ought to call it When Tulips Party. I like it a lot, Dave. Don't let W&C disappear for so long this time.

  And what an explosion--you knew just when to stop in the experimenting. This is great, David, and I would never have guessed it started out as a tulip.

  Thank you so much Nikki! I just wish I could remember what I did to get this effect. I cannot seem to duplicate it again. When I did this it was rather late and I was rather tired.

  David, this is a favorite of mine! I love the vibrant and explosive colors and I just knew this one would make it. I am late on my congrats; I began having PC troubles just about the time the finalists came out. I ended up installing a new HD and I am still getting everything back on it! WTG David!
