This is a rendering of Radiation and is what I imagine the flower might look like if it was irradiated. A mixture of ripple and wave distortion filters in PS. All comments welcome.>=))>

Very cool, Bill. I like the saturated rendition of the colors. It’s interesting how the treatment distorted the radial symmetry of the center almost beyond recognition whilr that of the petals remains nearly intact. It creates an interesting visual tension.

You can almost hear the petals crackling, Bill - quite a scary image in a nice kind of way !

Very nice!
