From this summer in Western North Carolina. I used Topaz and Nik filters and the last step was CS5 Poster Edges with much of that effect removed from the flowers, leaving just some.

Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Very dramatic! The flowers really catch the eye and then there's a bit of a start because the leaves look natural in the smaller post. That creates some interesting tension that is lessened in the larger version where you can see that the leaves have been filtered, just not as strongly as the flowers.

The colors are beautiful, Barbara. It sounds as though you are really having fun with filters.
