The coolest scrambling is in the center of the flower. What if you mostly left the petals alone, and only used the crazy tool in the center?

Whoah, that's so cool. I love the swirling effect of the whole composition, and especially the bizarre centre. Can I ask--did you use the liquify tool?

Wonderful! Great shot to start with by the look of it. Then fine processing along with the filter effect. Congrats on the EP for it, Sandy.

Oh, lordy, look out! With Flaming Pear to play with, you may not see the light of day for a long time... :biggrin:
