This is a masterpiece Joe. I love the framing of leavesand the shutter look on the left. This is in my mind your best manipulation to date. I only see one small blemish and that is the botanical tags that are hanging from the branches on the left. A new one for my desktop wallpaper changer for sure. Great job and enjoy those taters;-)

Yea I usually hide my icons for a couple minutes to look at the image.I would have brought the image forward a little to hide that on the left.Thanks for the kind comment and imput Darryl.

Wow Joe, this is beautiful... i love the way you have the leaves and shutter framing the middle image... well done... J

This is quite groovy. I really like what you did to sort of blur/blot the image. I bet the original(s) was very nice to begin with.

Thanks Jacque&Aurora for the beautiful and groovy comments you guys.

Beautiful work!! I like it,JM.

Excellent piece well done

This is very impressive Joe, I’d call it painting with light. It is a masterpiece and in my favourites. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Joost,Gaz&Robert for your kind words.

I agree with all the praise that has already been heaped upon you for this wonderfully creative and beautiful piece of art, Jojo. Top marks and kudos. (And, for once, I'm glad I have poor vision -- it won't allow me to see any of those tags that Darryl mentioned...hehe.)

Thanks MQ for your ongoing support and advice.
