Tommy E. Burgess February 19, 2009

Bill this is fantastic!! I love the painterly quality to it and you did a great job nailing the exposure just right and the composition is fantastic. Of all the plug-ins to date, and there have been some really great ones; the Topaz allows you such a range from very subtle to wacked out, I find it the most addictive. Your use of the filter is perfect for this capture. Well done!! #7185612
