Thanks so much for a wonderful review. The Topaz Simplify has a painting feature to it. Paula

Wonderful color combinations. I like that you added in as part of your notes all of the adjustments. The lines on the individual leaves adds to the painting effect.

I like the softness of the colors as the green seems to transcend smoothly to the edges as it turns t a reddish orange. A pleasant photo to view. Thanks for sharing, john

Beautiful image! An abstract view of nature. Love the colors, the lines (veins) in the leaf. And fantastic lighting! Again, great image! -john

This is spectacularly beautiful and I would give it a higher score if I could! Love the off-center/diagonal placement of this leaf for interest and the intense, oversaturated colors which I think really MAKE this as well as the bold "design elements" of regularly repeating shapes. This is a great/bold design!

The amount of work you have done has given you a very very nice image. The colours are fantastic and the composition is great. Nice one.
