Closeup of crotons at the Minneapolis Walker Sculpture Garden

I used the Paint Shop Pro "Brush Strokes" special effect with stroke length 10, density 25, 160 bristles of width 5 and opacity 50, softness 20, and lighting angle 102.I somehow feel that post-image filtering is a bit odd, but I hope that this is a reasonable attempt. The image is from April 26, 2002 and the Paint Shop Pro editing from November 18, 2002.
