1 in 4 Challenge: Week 2. Filtered Light

This is the second edit for this challenge. This particular image may look exactly the same as the previous week’s image, but it is not.

There is a very slight difference, and if you look at the upper left hand side of the photo, you will see glistening spots of light. There are a few such spots scattered through the picture.

I used the Topaz Star Effects Filter in this picture. I had to edit the picture several times before I got the effect that I liked. The problem with these filters is that, if you don’t use them carefully, then can look awful.

And so, I hope that my rendition does not fall into the awful category!
