    Amazing impressionist interpretation of this flower, very artistic.
    did you know you wanted the picture like this before you shot it and used Photoshop, or did you discover the finished photo by experimenting with Photoshop

  • Darren Post replied

    This was an old photo (from my 2007 calendar) re-worked.
    The result you see here was as you put it discoverd by experimenting with the fractalius filter in photoshop.

    Thanks to all for the comments   :-)

    As a fan of macro photography (and I think I use this exact lens on my Canon) I am usually a sucker for a beautiful flower shot. But this one grabbed me immediately with an “Oh Wow!” – I’m going to have to check out fractalius now, I’ve not seen anything like this before. :)

    Darren, great approach to the subject matter. Reminds me of my ‘weird nature’ shot you commented on just recently. Could be the same genus of plant perhaps?
