Started with an easy one. Changed the background by selecting it, choosing two colors from flower and applying Clouds Difference and applying. Still on b/ground layer, added artistic effects of various types (fresco, dry brush) ending with palette knife to get an effect I liked. Sharpened background, cleaned up the edges with Refine Edge and that's about it.

This has a very pleasing painterly effect. Nicely done.

Neat contrast in textures between the flower and the background. Interesting take on the layers idea -- put them in the background.

I totally agree with the other comments about the retro vibe goin' on here. Something about it reminds of a screenprint.

I like this but I can't put my finger on what intrigues me. Maybe the contrast of the realness of the foreground flower with the mottled surreal background.

the master of changing backgrounds .. you've given this a sort'v 50's wallpaper look .. or maybe not .. wotever you've done is brilliant .. the background pattern and colours against the flower are awesome .. love the green shadow in the flower ..:)
