I cropped, quick selected the spider, colored purple, inverted, then used brush to add purple splatter. Opened it in Topaz and added the liquid effect. The photo was taken with my polarize filter so it was blue to start with.

I still like the spider. Wish I had done less to the background. Thank you so much for your critique.

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Well, its certainly purple! Your composition is good placing the spider on an appropriate hotspot but I’m afraid I’m one of those who dislike the processing. In a way I like it because it makes the spider less obvious and you have to search more for it but it just feels too much, a bit overdone. I supose its the sort of effect you either like or you don’t. Thanks for a different and stimulating entry Susie.

I'm seeing a lot of this filter recently. I think it would have been much more interesting without the swirling filter. Intriguing, yet over done.

Not voting because I can't see these colors correctly (color deficient)

Commenting only

The more I look at this the more it grows on me! I realise some will think the editing is over the top but it's kind of funky, makes the spider look rather friendly!
