Our Magnolia tree has started to bloom and this is one of the seed pods that I shot with my new 100mm macro and processed in the new Fract 2. The BG is what was there, behind the seed pod. The BG coloring effect and fibers were created by Fract 2.
Processing included; Fractalius 2, Topaz Lens Effects (various effects including Oil Painting) and Photoshop Oil Paint
