Wonderful Grant! It's so happy and fluffy, fun-loving and free! Far better than the original. Excellent work. ~ Lonnit

Your original has an ethereal quality that I particularly like. Your processed entry has a sort of retro fun thing a-happening. --Nancy/odigi

Subtle or psychedelic, I like them both :). --Melanie (mlynn)

Thanks Traveller, I didn't do much PP to this anyway. The bright colors just come from bumping the contrast and saturation in Adobe Camera RAW. Grant

Dear Grant: I have to disagree with both shy and Andy...this is the far better version of the two presented. This one is magical, it is happy, is should make people smile. The green burn over on the right side identified by Andy is...well, not even a problem, it just is. I doubt if there is anything you can do about it and it doesn't hurt that much...it's still a fine, unique, visualization. Traveller

I have to admit I like the natural background better, too. (Since you were nice enough to let us compare the two.) I do love the sharply focused, center of the dandilion. It draws my eye right in.

this shot was kind of a throw-away that I made while getting into the car. I messed around with it after I got home just to see what I could make it into. Here is the original:

Nice treatment of this subject Grant. Its a pity that the fringe has been overpowered by the electric green. Its so perfect in the subtle tones. Andy
