Sounds like you had a lot of fun with the use of the different filters and you got yourself some beautiful results Mary. Love the green and that lizzard texture. Gorgeous work with the outline of the flowers. A creative beauty dear friend. Have a wonderful day. #11008509Mary K. Robison March 26, 2014

Thanks so much for your always-kind comments, Kiki. I know this image is more than a little "Far out!" But this month's theme (Creativity)gave me permission to play in the darkroom. So I did! ;-DKirsten Kiki Kjaer March 27, 2014
PSE11! WOW! Now I know what to wish for at Chritmas :) #11009297John Connolly March 27, 2014
Congratulations on your new Photoshop program Mary! You have produced a little masterpiece here, what an amazing image! #11009529Laura E. Swan March 27, 2014
I didn't even know there WAS a PSE11! COOL! I have PSE7 and there are a few tools there I couldn't do without now. Dodge, Smudge and Heal are great ones!!!So now we get to see samples of your new creative DDR arsenal this month! Very cool indeed. This snake filter would be fun to use also if you ever take a picture of anyone wearing an animal print blouse. Then you could lasso tool the blouse only and use the texture on it! HA! :D
This is terrific and it will be fun to watch you bud and bloom even further.
Love it!
