Watercolor Tulip & repost

I didn't quite achieve the effect I was trying for when I shot this tulip with my macro lens, so I applied the topaz watercolor filter and liked it much better.

I love this - subtle colors, great BG .
To me, a little high in the frame. It would be easy to clone more green at the top, if you wished to.

Barb, I like your composition but would add a touch more canvas to the top. Colors and softness are out of this world.

I like the processing in this very much Barb. I think I would probably add canvas at the top or maybe leave the top alone and clone up from the bottom to a square aspect ratio. However, it's a fine looking image exactly as posted.

I think the repost is a stronger image Barb. Nice job on the canvas.
