Beautifully done, Glenn! I love the colors and textures. I didn't know you could get that out of Lightroom! Very fanciful. :)

Very interesting lines and colours. Might be interesting to push the limits even further!

I appreciate your comments. The image was a bit fanciful for sure, but I wanted to see how much an ordinary image could be altered without anything more than the HSL, vibrance, highlights and shadows sliders in LR. I started to wonder when someone sent me a link to Mike Moats (a macro shooter) that used one of the NIK programs specialty software to create some unusual colours.

This is the original (the profile is Camera Landscape):

Those haloed effects might be what one sees after eating the poppy's seeds :)

Very creative use of LR Glenn -- I like the slightly surreal feel!
