PROPELLING THE NIGHT

The original for "Propelling the Night" (8-22-14 016v3a) is almost two years old. I don't usually like an obvious, sort of flattening or overly fussy outlined effect, such as one gets from "comic" or "poster edges," and other filters. However, the outlining here is more to my liking, nicely thin and clear and consistent. I obtained it by applying "paint daubs" to the original version which added white outlining, and inverted the pic so that the outlines were black. I then fudged with the colors to bring them back toward how green might be seen on a cool night. (The color inversion made it look like a night pic and I wanted to go with that.) I also really wanted to retain those lovely curved wheel-like leaf shapes, so didn't go for any sort of distortion (for a change, smile).
