AMAZING! What incredible processing, I feel like it will speak to me any moment now.

Wow. Congrats. I am not even sure how to remark on this work, as I have no idea what you have done to achieve this visual feast! I guess that was the long way of saying, "I'm speechless." or "I am without speech." (as Elaine would have said)

@Helen: Thanks so much Helen. It took a long time to process this. It was inspired by Daniel Giordan's book, "The art of Photoshop."

Very creative! It makes me think of two things: (1) Georgia O'Keefe paintings; and (2) the flesh-eating plant from "Little Shop of Horrors." Freaky!

Jeeze, that is cool. now, how the heck did you do that? Great shot.

@MontereyJohn: It was inspired by Daniel Giordan's book, "The Art of Photoshop". I read his tutorial and applied the technique to my own photograph (yesterday's post). I've learned a lot from this guy. Highly recommended reading for those that like Photoshop.
Anne from White Rock, Canada
Simply Beautiful! I've not seen such great processing on here before - only in books. A lot of work - but such a wonderful result!
