Mystery Flower

I know, I know, another flower.
This is another zoo photo. I have no idea what kind of flower it is.
But I thought it was pretty, and a pretty good photo.
Enjoy

Thanks, but I give Mathmap the credit (Plastic Wrap Script-fu for the wax).

Nice job with the photo, great image. I texture blended the background, B/W the flower and finished up by using Imprerssionists.

Lynn- nice waxy look
Palms- great fractilicius version, and your 2nd one is both strange and lovely
thanks for the name of the flower too, I knew I could count on you
Lyle- yours makes me dizzy, but I like it
Amica- love the transparent look as its coming out of the misty background
Fran- yours makes me think of a colored pencil look
John- LOVE the way you did your background, very cool!

I finally got around to playing with this and ended up with 2 along the way.

The first is a smudge. Click HERE for a larger version.
The second is just filter play. Click HERE for a larger version.

This came out differently than it began...sort of let the muse lead me. After a hardlight blend mode it resembled a textile print, which was reversed in difference mode. I saw an Asian touch in the dalhia, so arranged it as a greeting card. do you think? My logo is in a square format, so used it as a chop mark.

Greetings!

Thank you, Jordan

Thought I would make a seamless texture of just the petals this time.

My offering, such as it is was done in PS using anisotropic diffusion, sharpening, highlight and shadow tweaking, then using Topaz Simplify quote a bit.

Did this one mainly using Akvis Sketch.
