wildflowers in bloom - or not

I can't remember now what it was I was attempting to do with this picture but this wasn't it. I swear sometimes PSE has a mind of its own. I got PSE in October and this is my 100th picture. None of it would have been possible without the invaluable assistance of my forum friends - so thank you all.

I like it! The water looks spectacular. That must be the Bixby Bridge in Big Sur?

Thank you Julie. You're right, it is. I so appreciate that you always take the time to reply.

Hey ...

That is a riot of colour ... what a great effect :)

Thank you Wendy. I'm afraid I've lost perspective and I'm bordering on the belief that I can do this much like the rejects on American Idol think they can sing.

Very nice.

People who don't do this kind of thing don't realize the amount of work that goes into something like that.

Wow coco, very creative.

Thank you Joe. I'm hoping there's others like me who do do this kind of thing who lose track of time while they're doing it and have no idea how long they've been doing it for.
Thanks Christell. I first learned about the flood filter from you and I sure do love it. You definitely are a pioneer with some of these techniques. I just take off with your ideas and run with it.
