    This turned out really good. I've tried that treatment on a few photos and never came up with something as good as this.

    thanks - sometimes it works real well some times it looks awful - I have had some pretty good luck with selected shots - I really liked how this one turned out

    Hi Marcy,

    I'm generally not too much into this type manipulation, but this rendering is really terrific. The colors and composition stand out very well. I'd call it a wall hanger.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I like it! It brings together an unexpected combination of colors that works really well.

    I like it, Marcy! Great colors and effect. I use Topaz a lot but haven't had much luck with the Simplify effect. I really like your treatment here!
