In this case, I agreed. If I knew where the original was (does that say something about my filing system?), I'd post it for comparison.

Oh, and P.S. With the background the way it is, I expected to have some intrepid souls extract the flower and do funky things with it. |

I can't leave this rose alone. Here is my second interpretation. Posterize, AHB, Smudge, Impressionist (and masking), more Smudge, Sharpen, Texture. Enjoy.

Janet,
I really like you impressionist rose. It is amazing how art like you have made it.
I was wondering what image prcessing program you were using to get "Impressionist". I don't know what AHB is.
