Hi Swampy,
Here is my try at your lovely plant,we can only grow theses indoors as the winter is far too cold...

I used curves and then xero filters,crumpled and framed in pspx..

Love all the renditions you have received so far...i am partial to Palms1s smudging and Kiskas painting....terrific.......

i like that too, kiska. the rotation was an unusual but inspired choice. love the free look of the painting.

patricia,

great shadowing and color mix. wasnt sure about your poster board framing choice at first cause i wanted to see the picture up close more, but the more i look at it, the more it grows on me

patricia,

well, the color is right and i like the inner border. it's the size of the frame and the different sizes of top/bottom and right/left that bugs me a bit. even 'bugs me' is too strong. it's more of a 'curious about', like when you cock your head and look again

Know what you mean Craig...found the frame in psp....dont know why its not symetrical???? Ah well i will look more closely next time.....got me thinking now...

Hi Swampy and the others!
I decide to add my tryout as well. The result is mixing of different filters and layer modes.
I like to ask your promise to use this work on my website. That would be handy as adding screenshots for the layers as well. It's coming sort of portofolio. I'm having assignments site for MyJanee.com and I like to make a new one for the tryouts I'm doing in here. Take a look and tell me what do you think of my idea. I may add your link below the work if you like.

Krissie, Very nice! A good blend of realism and "artsy". Feel free to use your version on your web site.

I used Gimp.
I hope, it is something like watercolor..

[Swampy]

Very nice, Barbara. It is a great watercolor. It would look lovely framed and hanging in a garden room.

thanks, Swampy

Very nice flowers... I hope that my attempt is 50% of success!

Oltenius... I see in my crystal ball that you have well rendered the caladiums. :-0

Fun effect
