UP TO MY OLD TRICKS!

I've been up to my old tricks of taking perfectly good flower images and transforming them into totally weird and radical "works of art". Some were too large in their original format to up load, so I made a few web sized copies of them. One of my personal favorites is "Light Within" and I hope you find it an interesting piece as well. These images go through many processes to reach their finale look and you will see a couple that are very similar, because they did come from the same original image but with either different or additional transformations being done. Look at the one s titled "Slice n Dice", "Ripples n Swirls" and Special FX 2", "Slice n Dice" was the original transformation. "Raving Waves" started out as a close up of a pink daylily blue that was first "solarized" and then taken through several different distortions before finally being given the "oil pastel" treatment, adding the shadow and signing it. It is the only one done completely in PhotoShop Elements 2. Other were processed through as many as three - 4 different programs to get the desired end results. Hope you enjoy them all; they certainly were fun to create!
