I used a few different layers of blurred and brightened duplicates and goofed around with their transparency until I ended up with this. It looks a more like a painting than a photograph now I think. Do you think this is taking Digital photography editing too far? Strangely enough, the only spot editing I did was to leave some regions (the flowers) less blurred than the green background.
Yes, I would consider this digital art, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with it. In fact, I really like the outcome, and I'm even more impressed with it after seeing the original. Great work :)
