[Uunusual Alien] Abstract art from a simple photo
Hello everyone,
I would like to share with you a concept of the optical illusion genre but making changes by exaggerating the characteristics of an image.
Here you are following me, you have already noticed my image manipulation like:

Today, I use a banal photo (having a minimum of resemblance to something familiar) then I enrich it to bring out an expression.
The idea in this "essay" is to transform a banal image into an extraterrestrial character .
For that I rely on a photo which I took with like image something which already has a family form.
Then I try to bring out expression lines by playing with shadows and colors.
as tools I use the Gimp software for photo editing, because it is free (free) and it has many filters to give texture effects, etc ...
Raw material for inspiration, an already familiar shape
To do this work I used a flower, the Hypericum calycinum Flower
This is the type of flower used (well looked behind her) | faded... |

Wow, I really thought it was something abstract. Impressive that it was done of real natural beauty-flower :)

Hello @ art-venture,
I am very happy for the nomination. Thanks for your vote!
I have other specimen that will lend themselves well to image manipulation.
