| I also enjoy playing with "buttons" and sometimes even appreciate the result. |

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. :-) |

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. |
