Default Coconut Flower.

Here is another of my Digital creations, using a photo I took while we were on Maui! Outside our window was a Palm tree with a bloom. I took the shot and didn't quite know what to do with it, so I used it to create what you see here. Modified in CS4 and Topaz

You really need to view this in the large format to appreciate it, as there is so much to see. Look closely and let your Imagination go and tell me what your see in the details.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy it
Michael

Fascinating and excellent results Michael, a pen and ink effect that works so well. These should be viewed larger through flickr to fully appreciate how good they are, great job mate

Michael - to say it's a photo is an understatement .. it's a work of art .. creativity at its best

What an interesting photo Michael, when I let my imagination go I could see the back of a lady's head wearing a scarf over long curls and a hand reaching out in front. Thanks for sharing

Lovely PP on these. It definitely is one that needs to be viewed large to truly appreciate. I love it.

Thank You Angelb, everytime I look at it I see something different. There are angels and other shapes in the picture that are almost people, animals, fairys

Wow Michael, really interesting PP. So colorful. It reminds me of a Disney-esque piece of artwork. Great stuff.
