Thanks Lagirl, I'm glad you liked it this way. I wasn't sure if I should have submitted it without the effects, but this seemed to bring more life to it.
SWEET SHOT!! wow, how incredible this one is!! i'm all for altering photos by whatever means possible in order to come up with a hybrid between strict photography and strict drawing and painting, etc. this superb piece works on soooo many levels and stretches that invisible line in delightful ways!! please continue with your effects!!!!!!
in the words of a world famous philospher:
