Keep guessing...
by Mike Fitzgerald

Further PS reflections on a real plant (regrettably felled by vandals) that I entered in a previous Challenge, and thrown in here for curiosity's sake.
The original image -- is HERE, with an explanation in the Comments area. And no, it's not a "tree" despite its common name.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Very nice and colorful effect...makes for a beautiful abstract, Mike...very nice slice of floral antiquity. Unusual and well done. MFC

Nope, not a mushroom top, but all is revealed >>> HERE . Filter used was Find Edges, after first saturating it right out of its brain. Moderate sharpening had also been applied, which affected many small highlights in the background caused by glistening moist spots; hence the appearance reminiscent of one of the Pixellate (e.g. Pointillize, as you suggest) filters. -- Mike

It's a very interesting PS treatment.... to a mushroom top ? I like the pointilized filter used here (correctt me if I'm wrong on both counts?) Mark J
