Beautiful work, Sandy. The way the filter turned most of the flower and foliage more or less transparent and just caught the edges is magical. I’m amazed that old plugin is still functional. I think I had it on my Windows 7 computer or maybe earlier and somewhere in updates it disappeared.

Sandy: Ditto @Dennis_Plank . Beautiful flower superbly rendered. Most excellent.>=))>

@Dennis, there is a more current Fractalius available now for Photoshop, and I think I paid like $40 two years ago. My original version was from 2005 or so.
Lots of fun to play with ! But go thru the tutorial first, as it’s quite weird and complicated sometimes.

A joyous Easter, Passover, Mahavir Jayanti (April 10), and Vaisakhi (April 14) to all !

Correct image posted! (Missed a blip or two)

Sandy, I like this unique presentation of a white lily. The translucent flower is perfection and it stands out against the dark background. The light green edges of the leaves and stem complement the flower and do not overwhelm. I think the green and black frame adds an elegance to the composition.
