Orton Effect C&C please

[Dami]

After seeing Paul's experiment with the Orton Effect, I wanted to give it a try. Thanks for the idea, Paul.

The only PP I did was to use a layer mask on the OOF/over-exposed image to get better clarity in the center and on the flower at the left. Both layers are images taken with the camera, not just a duped layer.

Crits and comments very welcome.

Oh that is VERY nice.

The effect is super but the subject could have been better. How about a splash of red? --Rick

Thanks for the comments.

Rick, red didn't come in the package of potpourri. :( I just used what was there. Finding the right subject has been a challenge for me. This is closer than my first attempt. :)
