You and Fractalius have done a wonderful job on this
Leslie Battjes replied
John, I really love Fractalius…it’s an amazing filter…certainly not for everything, but for some things it’s just perfect :)
cathy savels
Wow! This is lovely but I’m guessing it’s not a sunflower! lol
Leslie Battjes replied
Cathy, it’s not a sunflower, you were right. It’s actually the innermost chambers of a nautilus shell. The shell’s insides are very pearlescent and when the filter was applied, these colors were picked up. Of course, I enhanced them a bit, and there you have the “sunflower” :) thanks for stoppin’ by.

ooo very cool! Mundy Hackett uses that filter sometimes – it has awesome effects. Very cool, abstract image
Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, Jo! I like to “find” images in things that you wouldn’t always see at first. It’s like opening a gift sometimes…you never know what delights you might find! :)

Sorry Leslie, I thought you’d made an error! lol I could only see a nautilus myself.
Leslie Battjes replied
LOL! :) No problem, Cathy.

Leslie Battjes replied
Thanks, Yvonne. The naulitus images were the first and only true set I’ve ever worked on. I usually get bored photographing the same type of thing, but those two shells just kept speaking to me. So much fun! :)
