First shot at Filter Forge. (I think I'm in love.) Thought I'd give it a try on a lucky snapshot from a few days ago. After removing a couple of distractions, I ran some random filters and played around with different blending options. I did this in about 20 minutes and am delighted with the outcome--can't wait to see what comes out after I've had a chance to really explore the program!

FF Steps (after minor PS adjustments):
-Crysta by Golovin - color dodge & 66% opacity
-Polygon Painting by Golovin - hard light & 52%
-Watercolor Frame by Kochubey - normal & 100%
-Photo Colorizer by Kochubey - normal & 100%; isolated to mosquito, center of flower and stem (sorry, couldn't find link to include below)
-(Photoshop - ran a High Pass filter and masked out the background - overlay & 100%)
