Transformations of an Autumn Leaf

This original photo was taken at the Green Lane Reservoir Park
in Montgomery County, PA this past Sunday.

Here I converted it into a seamless tile.

I took the seamless tile and applied a balls and bubbles effect.

Here I applied a keleidoscopic filter and overlaid it with a weave effect.

since I was a child. At one time I even thought about
studying to become a biologist. Obviously, life ultimately
led elsewhere; but I have never lost my love of nature.
