I've always been intrigued by patterns created by lily pads and lotus pads. While shooting last Saturday I came across a set of pads that interested me...but all of them were well past prime, with burn spots, small holes, etc. Took the image anyway; 100-400@220mm, f/22@1/6. RAW image processed minimally in LR and went straight to filters in PS; applied Topaz Clean, Fractalius, NIK Tonal Contrast, Topaz Simplify, all on different layers with varying degrees of opacity. Not sure why, but I liked it in the end!I'll be gone a few days...37 Seventh Grade Boys and I are going to camp! I'll miss you all.
