I was working on some flower photos yesterday in Photoshop when I remembered seeing an effect where an image was mirrored. On this post, the top image is the original and is a close up shot of one of my bearded irises I took last summer. All I did was copy the image then flip the copy and combine the two and I came up with a whole new species of flower. I have another one I'll post tomorrow that's even wilder than this one. Purists may think photographs should not be manipulated, especially in a nature blog like this one, but sometimes you have to let your creative juices flow and do something different and have some fun. This is obviously a digital manipulation and I'm not trying fool anyone into thinking otherwise.

Phooey to those who deride photoshop manipulations - it was done in the darkroom too. That's very cool.
I love it! With digital cameras, your computer is your processing lab now, and it can be a lot of fun!
Photography is ART and I believe it should be seen as the photographer chooses to display it. thanks
It's all art, doesn't look so abstract to me
That is so cool! What a neat effect! I really love irises...hope you post lots of pictures when they are in season.
I too love digital art in all forms as well as straight photography! It's FUN working with Photoshop! The iris is cool! You did a really nice job of combining the two! I haven't tried this effect yet.
Fun idea! Well done!
Cheers, Klaus
It's nice to see the artist coming out in you! Good job! Doesn't nature always inspire art?
