Digital Bloom...

Today I thought I'll show you something different - an image digitally enhanced from a photo that I would have thrown away - normally. But then I thought - hey - maybe that's still usable - let's see what's coming out of this. And here it is: an abstract image of a decaying flower (a gladiola) and below is the original. So - think about twice before throwing away a bad photo...
I just liked the colours in this one and the painterly quality about it...

the original

"Gladiolus" (Iridaceae)
