About the Image(s)

One of the things I love to play around with is PS blending modes. This image started with the close up shot of a succulent bush. My aim was to create an interesting abstract. I duplicated the original to create another layer. Then I rotated and enlarged the new layer. The next step was to experiment with various blend modes for that layer. I settled on Difference mode because it had the most impact. I also moved the top layer around over the bottom layer to see what effect that had on the composition. I ended up cropping it a bit to keep what I considered to be the best parts. Finally, I used PS filter gallery, texture, sandstone to give the image a little more of an artsy look.
