Thank you all for your kind comments. In answer to your question Lem, this technique does not work on all photos. The orig. leaves were different shades of light and dark green with hints of red scatterd on them. I first adjusted the color and contrast, then using Photoshop I solarized the photo and then used auto levels and then again adjusted the contrast and curves. It's just a hit or miss with every photo but I liked the way this one turned out. Thanks again everyone! :) #39993

I know what you mean Helen. Just playing around with different filters and come up with a unique look. Nice job. #40002
