A definite impressionist look to this one, Sandy. I really like the colors and composition.

Looks like the rose is under water. Interesting effect.

Nice! Were you going for any particular approach on this? Just curious if you wanted something specific.
I like this; it feels like a painting. I would also like it if there were a bit more detail in some places.

Genny, the truth is I rarely have anything specifically in mind. I just play with different sliders until I get something i like. It would be better if I knew exactly what to do to get a certain look that could be reproduced in another image, but the only times 2 images look a little alike is when I have done them both in the same PA session.
If you leave the settings the same after one image is done, and simply open another one, the programs usually apply the same slider values and the 2 images may end up looking somewhat alike.
