    Default Leaf Fractalius

    A macro shot of a Sugar Maple Leaf's vein structure with Fractalius applied.

    Look forward to comments.

    Andrew, Nice abstract look and I love the colors. I wonder if you had the main vein closer to the corners but not necessarily coming out of the corners if that makes sense?

    Ya, but I love the flow of the one curved vein on the right and I wouldn't want to lose that.

    This is gorgeous, Andrew! You do wonderful things with frac. The geometric/stained glass/suburban tract house/alien blood vessels.... "look" is amazing.

    Sweet application of the fractalius filters. Stained glass look is super.

    Gosh Andrew, I love this! Fractalius does wonderful things with organic patterns like this - good eye to see the potential in the image. Lovely colors too! Very nice.

    Hi Andrew, This is really cool. I like both posts. Simple thing presented in a lovely fashion. I'm still trying to figure out to use the filter

    I like the RP with keeping the curved vein. You might take just a tiny slice of the RHS of the OP and a bigger slice off of the bottom. I have to play in this game someday. Very nice.

    Rocking Fract. Pointing the lens up a bit might have brought the main vein into the frame from the dead corner (while keeping the curved vein); that would have been my preference.
