  Even the shards are "falling" Paul! Very cool! With the weather we're starting to have, I'm afraid our autumn daydreams have shattered!

  Thank you all so much. I was a bit hesitant to post this as it is somewhat outside the norm. Gaby and Jim, I used the "Shattered" filter which is part of the Xenofex 2 set of plugins. It is sold by Alien Skin Software at www.alienskin.com

  Terrific originality and artistic flair in this image, Paul...I was somewhat of a purist until I came to this site and saw all the marvelous, creative things others did using effects their photos, so no apologies! Keep up the great work!!
