He says: "I love you this much!"

She says: "I heart you back!"

(Note: Photo offered for content, not picture quality. Chromatic aboration was terrible in the original that I was having trouble eliminating, so was just playing around with Topaz Impressions.)

That's really good. You should have this one hanging on a wall.

No idea how bad you thought the original was, but the final result is great.

Well - if you started with a lemon you made lemonade. I like it. Looks like a watercolor or colored pencil drawing.

Thank you all for your kind words!

I am admittedly, and probably unfortunately, a perfectionist post processor. As stated, this photo original was taken at 640mm and had significant chromatic fringing and noise. After correcting for both it was not considered a "fine detail" photo. These are the conditions when I love experimenting with Topaz Impressions and Glow plugins. They render quite interesting results of the painterly, water color, pencil sketch variety that are much more forgiving of photo deficiencies.

They also add additional color and depth to what I would consider "good" photos, as demonstrated below.

Again, thank you!
