That's really good. You should have this one hanging on a wall.
I love the subject, the composition and your creative edits. Very striking!
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.
Just beautiful! It reminds me of a vintage photo. Nicely done.

Lazy J, For apologizing about the quality of this photo I would love to see ones that you like. Excellent.

Great composition, looks more like a painting!
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!
