Stefan desperate times lead to desperate measures in in 'natural " form it looked boring so any thing I did was an improvement.

Collin, I've never seen anything like this from you before. Where've you been hiding this stuff??!! --Stefan

Thanks for the comments. This came around by not knowing what to do with a boring flower picture. I took the background out and it still looked boring, I played with some effects , hit the twirl button and this is what I got. A flash Gordon, thinned out Donald duck, road runner with a touch of ski slope and bottle opener :)

Amazing - looks like a glassworks sculpture - the colors are so clear. Looks like the upper torso/head/arms of a ski-er.

Excellent shot and I learnt something as well, I'd always known this as the bird of paradise plant.

Great idea for shot and presentation, Collin.

That is great! It is an abstract of a profile, maybe like those Surrealist paintings from the early 1900s

I like your title and love how you turned an already beautiful flower into a magical creature. That black background really works nicely too.
