Welcome to the second official weekly Photo Manipulation Art Contest (PMAC)! I'm so happy with how well last week went! Congratulations again to @jokossita for winning last week, and our tied second place winners @yogjoshi and @norwegiansteem!

This contest focuses on letting your inner creative self come out by mixing photography and art and having fun in the process! Each week I will have a different theme for the photographs. It's important to make sure these are your own original photos. The quality of the photo doesn't matter as much as the final result.

As you can see above, this week's theme is Plants and Flowers. Every week I'm going to participate in the theme as well and show you an example of what I came up with. Obviously I want you to take this theme in whatever direction you would like! It's up to your interpretation.

---

Here are the rules:

• Take a photo according to the weekly theme
• Transform it into a work of art that expresses your personality and style (you can use collages/drawings/paintings/editing) go wild with this!
• One entry per person
• Make a post with your entry with pmac included in your tags which includes the original photo and your transformed work of art.
• Leave a comment with your entry along with the link to your post
• Upvote and resteem :)
