I love this... you can tell what the subject is, and yet it stands proudly as an abstract! My eye travels all over the image, always ending on that central green... bravo! #1078443

Hi Joan, how on earth did you create this wonderful image? I really enjoy looking at it...
Love the major green in the centre.

Thanks Christine x 2 LOL!

Sheesh, I didn't keep very good track, but basically, I added the curliques, took it into topaz and processed it with the Dramatic Preset, then added a couple of Flaming pear filters, Lacquer, Iso Cube and Melancholytron I think! Anyway it turned a completely insipid garbage shot into something rather nice I think!! #7129036

Now you know how I create half the stuff I do that the judges seem to think are EP's! I cracked up over your phrase "completely garbage shot". I do think you can save a "cig" shot into something pretty awesome! Great title too, by the way.

I wrote a long answer to you and Jim in my thread on the nomination process. See if you agree. I don't think we get notified of activity on those threads so I didn't know if you've been back there or not today. #7130195

Ooo! TRIPPY Joan! (HA!) <--- Now there is a term I haven't said in a very long time! Love your swirls, too.
