You sure know when & how to use that Fractalius filter! Awesome colors and softness, and definitely a sign of spring.

Incredibly beautiful colors, Amanda, and the composition is wonderful. Love the softness and opaqueness of the flowers.

I like the the soft editing. It fits, yet the vibrant tones really bring it to life. ;~)

How soft and lovely! How did you get this look? Have you used more than one layer, shifted slightly, of the same shot? Really well done!

Now that is really nice - there's some kind of glow or movement or something going on - makes them look like dancing crinolines -very good indeed

The effect looks really awesome. Was that how it came out of the camera or did you post that in. Its like feathery brush strokes and compliments the picture very well. Love the purple and orange.
