This may have been said before, but I know one job I would
never apply for..... "Entry Judge." Each of you really were
inspired, all merit great praise. Such beauty & talent....

For the valley of Pink Lotus..... may I add a couple

Goldcoin,
I agree - I'd really hate to be an entry judge!!

OK - LAST ONE for me!!! (At least for a little while. I just love lotus, so might come back to this one.)

For this version, I selected the flower, copied to a new layer, transformed with 97% size and -5 rotation. Repeated that a few times (copy to new layer, transform using same values). Then rotated the entire image back a few degrees to have the center a little more level. Cloned in the background where needed. Ran the Paint Enging Mosaic filter and faded about 50%. Increased saturation in the yellow channel to make the center glow a little more.

jeaniesa - Thats fantastic - I love the way you've duplicated the leaves - Makes a completely different composition.

Goldcoin - I like your first image - you've made the flower look like it is made out of silk - so beautiful.

Jeanie, those twirls are great! I love the added texture too. Thanks for the link...I had fun looking through all the kaleidscopic images. Nice to know I'm not alone in my love of abstract geometric designs.

Goldcoin, I like your blue/green one best. Has a sixties look to it.

Clare, I love the delicate look of yours...and the thin frame is the perfect finishing touch!

Phili, that comic action is great...love the stark outlines.

In case of nuclear holocaust, might be nice to know that a mutated lotus might still survive! So here's a radioactive lotus, healthy and flourishing!

Phyllis,

That looks great how did you do it? Reminds me of lava lamps, blacklights and 8 track tapes, doh! a flashback....

Out on a date go to the Lotus Club.

Every body else is going with the out in space stuff, so why not me.

Thanks, Alan. Frankly, I don't know...just playing around with blending modes and color. Was a few days back so I don't recall the details.

I twirled it and got a few "blacklight" designs I really like. Here is one.

And here are two more. I was especially pleased with the scalloped edge. To make the second one, I twirled the lotus to a simple "double" design, then twirled that again.

Here is my first attempt. I changed the image to black and white and then applied the Photo Brush oil emboss filter.

This is a color sketch with framing texture.

Phyliss. I like them and I am Jealous, I cant do Kscopes. I cant deal with new toys right now, maby in the future.

Linda, very nice I like the delicate nature of number two and the colorations. NIce touch.

Trying out a few more PSP7 filters:

2. Effects> Artistic Effects> Chrome
3. Effects> Artistic Effects> Colored edges (128, 0, 0)
4. Effects> Lighting Effects> Sunburst (moved burst just to the right of the stamens).
