Original photo here . I used PSP, Light Artist and Photoscape, several cups of coffee, and ended up not being able to decide whether I like or hate it. Hope some of you may like this experiment - ok, even just one of you will do lol :)

For me the choice is quite easy Lyn: like it, as it's a perfect desktop! Thanks for this fine post and for all the effort you've put in it.
Regards, Cornelius.

hmm... can't please everyone.. I'm not so keen.... ;-( sorry! I think when you blow it up.. it is those stark bright lines that turn me away. Just not your usual masterpiece.. But then as a master I guess you can be excused for being creative.

Nice work Lyn, It looks great on the desktop. I had to flip it and put the flower on the right so my icons didn't cover it up.

Looks like a good engravement to me Lyn. I really like it. Hate to sound morbid, but it would look beautiful chisled on a tombstone.

You never cease to amaze me with what you can do with an image. You have transformed that ordinary begonia with your alchemy and turned it into this bronzed and burnished piece of art. Definitely worth the effort and the extra caffeine.

I like it, makes me think of a fossil and it certainly holds up as a desktop. You have such a strong creative streak Lyn.
