Although I snapped this shot because of the intriguing leaf coloring, I noticed that the center of the "blossom" looks like a tiny Budda (or some other eastern religious icon) ... or is it just me? Taken at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton Regional Park, Wheaton, MD.

PS - Crop; Contrast and Levels adjustments to punch the color a little; Duplicate layer; Extract leaves of interest; Insert black layer between extracted layer and the original image; Adjust opacity to allow some of the background to show through; Downrez, frame, and size.
