No notes. Just wanted to second what others have already said.

Sometimes those presets will shake you out of a funk and inspire some whimsical "what if I tried..." questions that can take your vision in new directions. One of the idiomatic strengths of digital photography is the low, low cost of outtakes and experimentation.

Having said that, I actually dig this image exactly as it is. It forces a kind of critical second look at an ordinary scene--evoking a kind of "inner chaos" that is masked by the seeming tidiness of actual domestic appearances.

Not sure if you were going for any of that or just playing with settings in abstract. But that's what I thought looking at it. :-)

Definitely a "found face" in this, as mentioned already. :-) The seeds look rather toothlike.

Having said that, I don't find this image to be humorous or anything like that. It's nicely composed and a smart addition to your series.

Yes, it's also quite Bizarre! A certain (ahem) shall we call him "trouble maker" was enthusiastic and said I should leave the Topaz settings as they were and sometimes it's fun to do something a bit crazy. I think maybe I needed that right now.

Love the colors and, like Mariuca, the processing. The lack of detail allows the shapes and colors to star. Almost looks as if it was shot through frosted glass.

The half pepper looks as if it's screaming - or about to consume whatever dares come too near.
