Hanging On (photoshop altered)

I expect an alien creature to hatch out from this cocoon any minute now Tony. Quite successful transformation!!!

I like how you worked this and visual effect is stronger with this contrast and texture did,that bit of green is like a remember of last summer.

Such a nice abstract Tony. I really like the treatment, looks kind of Draganised!

Well seen and executed 

All my best. Bill

Dear Tony,

I really like this image, the mixture of monotone and colours, low lights. Some green but also a bright, striking fuchsia edge detail!, eyes go straight to fuchsia.

The contrast and sharpness, the post-processing are really fantastic.

I love it!, congrats !. Kindest regards, Laura Marco.

The treatment is fascinating, Placement of the small leaf brilliant. 

Many thanks and I will respond in more detail later. This was at the front step entrance to the St. Thomas (1840) (see link http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17554155) Anglican Church in Rougemont,  Quebec.

Michail - thanks for stopping by. I like the idea of a cocoon because something even more beautiful will eventually emerge.

Radu - It was only thing green in the original and it did remind me that a part of summer was hanging on.

Bill - a couple of years ago, I followed a draganised tutorial but I was never able to replicate what the author was getting which simply reflected my lack of PS skills.

Laura - thanks for being quite detailed about what you liked and happy that you took my comment on one of your images in a positive manner.

Wayne - I did notice that small leaf. The link I provided, was an image taken last year but you can see the yellow clump by the steps of the church.

All the best and thanks again for all of your visits and comments.
