I "ooooomphed" it with a glow filter (see all those fine white lines?)...and added more saturation. Put a texture on it too...ahhh sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I will re-visit this work of art to see what else I can do within the contest criteria. Thank you.

Agree, it is a bit pastel looking. Sometimes the softness of pastel soothes the beating heart. .......
