  Thanks, Ellen, Laura and Lorri for your encouraging comments! The original colour image is flat and uninspiring, so I fooled around in PS with it as a last resort before banishing it from my gallery and website forever. Colour and B&W versions are side by side on my website HERE -- just click the thumbnails if you want to have a look.

  This is gorgeous. How do you invert the color? Great technique.

Kay Beausoleil
  Thanks for your kind comment, Clayton! In Photoshop CS3, I first converted it to black and white, and then, using an adjustment layer (or you can use Image/Adjustment/Invert) clicked Invert. That's it. The Invert also works on colour images, sometimes giving really cool results.

More info if you need it; you know how to find me ...
