Restrepia contorta and Photoshop

[DukeBoxer]

I was playing around in Photoshop today and did this to this Restrepia contorta picture. I just used the plastic wrap filter on it. I have tried that filter before but nothing has ever looked as cool as this...

It sure brings out all the bumps and ridges, doesn't it?

I like what it does to the flower, but not the leaf behind it. That reminds me of a leaf collapsing from a bacterial infection. I'd try selecting the flower and applying the filter just to the selection.

Very weird. A whole different perspective.

That is incredible!

It looks like leather!

The first thing that came to my mind. Oh, a pregnant spider. Maybe I have been seeing too many Grandchildren with tummies like that.

Let me know if I can help you with any tips -- I used to teach Photoshop for many years, starting with v. 2.0!
