I took this photo because I liked the color and shape of this plant, but I am sorry to say I don't know what type of plant it is. I increased the colors just a little, then I used the stained glass filter in photoshop.

Laura,
My first reaction... I want to see the original image. You've got some luscious colors and curves going here, then I'm looking through a window screen with it's square sections. I feel this overlay fights with your great underlying image.

P.S. I think your website is very attractive and soothing... Great Job :toast:

Laura,

I like the contrast between the square grid tiles and the edges and tips of the subject. It would be hard to say whether I prefer this to the original without seeing it but I like the image as posted.

The image is wonderful without the filtering. I think I would prefer it without. Nice color and comp.

I love the colors and shapes in this plant. I think the stain glass filter has given it some nice texture but I can see what the others are saying that it might be stronger without.
