A New Beginning
An abstract I created from an original photo I shot of a yellow rose at Brookside Gardens in MD. Use the polar coordinates filter several times just kept rotating the photo.
Loved the effect when printed on Museum Classic paper.
aperture F/8, shutter 1/640 sec, location Brookside Gardens, time of day 12:24 pm

My first initial look at this image was that it was a human ova or(ovum) which had split into twins. I would love to see the actual flower, though it must have been nice. Interesting effects. Congrats #1316712Carolyn J. Connolly May 06, 2005

A belated congrats on this unusual and evocative POTD. I agree with the others in that it reminds me of Georgia O'Keefe's work. Very nice, Patricia. #1331815Joyce Wycoff May 09, 2005
What a wonderful photo! ... isn't it fun when something surprises and delights you like this? Sometimes my rejects turn into amazing delights when I spend time manipulating them. Somehow, the "perfect" ones never call to me for that extra creative sparkle.This photo really motivates me ... thanks! #1334772
