@Chris Osborne: Hey Chris...sorry about the lack of explanation. I actually used an action called "gothic glow" but did like the full effect. So I went back in the history until all of the layers were revealed and tweaked it to my liking. I am so realistic that I sometimes don't like different effects. But, I am trying to come out of my box a bit.

What ever pp you've used Tracey, I think it works brilliantly with this subject. This is a stunning portrait of the Sunflower fairy, Excellent!

Not sure what you did, but am sure the colors pop. Really works well in this setting Tracey.

The colors do pop quite a bit, and as VF said that really works for this subject. Faeries should be colorful!!

I agree that, at least for me personally, pp should be kept to a minimum because otherwise the picture becomes more about the pp than the original subject. But here I think it works well because of the "unreal" subject. I think it's a matter of figuring out where and when it works well, and in this case I think it's a good match.
