Thanks Martin, Helen, Adam.
I should add that the vibernum cluster in this shot was about an inch wide & the tiny blooms are very waxy. Thus my decision to transform them into something slightly different.

Well seen! Smoothing out the textures may seem like a bad move, but it does emphasise the pattern element of the shot. Well done! Adam Bramley

Very clever use of effect, really does look like popcorn! Helen

Popcorn is exactly what I thought I'd be looking at when I saw the thumbnail of this photo. Cool interpretation, love the water-color type of effect applied!
