I took the original image with the Lensbaby composer. I rotated the image 90 degrees and then used the polar coordinate filter in Photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and rotated it. Then I masked back in some areas to make the tunnel more complete.
Colors are natural. It was a Caladium leaf.

Denise, love the focus shift and the POV you got here. Very interesting! I know Caladium leaves make great subjects, and they are also flat! ;)

Not familiar with the plant, but a very pleasing colour palette, and some nice depth.
