Chrysanthemum flower.
See Alien Blink, www.flickr.com/gp/pixelatedsky/y600M6, for the full description for this series. The set itself is in the album at www.flickr.com/gp/pixelatedsky/u986f4 .
Well I just had to have a saturation-symmetry blingaling, didn't I?
This starts from the Topaz Liquid Color variant and uses a seven-way mirror filter, slightly off-centre (hence the slightly different crop to get the frame-symmetry right).
I tend to use even-numbered symmetry in the mirror filter, but having seen this I think I should try odd-numbered ones as well.
Colours suitably splatted with an HSL adjustment layer afterwards...
Most of the time this one is my favourite. Sorry!
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image and the series.

Rose.
This is part of a series of explorations based on a single image of a rose, all processed in black and white or nearly so.
This was done using entirely in Affinity Photo using a straightforward B&W conversion and then a 6-way mirror filter.
I like the way it's not a rose but it is a rose...
This is for the Sliders Sunday group which is to blame for all the fun :)
Thank you for taking the time to look I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)

Three variants starting from the (Rose Froze HDR image).
These were all produced using Mirrorlab, a fun Android app, in this case running on a Chromebook :)

For Sliders Sunday today.
This is one of a much larger set of a dozen or so variants I have produced of this dahlia, mainly for a presentation I shall be doing next week. But I thought I would spare you from having to wade through them all, and just give you a break.
I love dahlias for their shapes and apparent symmetries. I say apparent, because when you throw them at a mirror filter as I have done here they become more symmetric, which kind of implies they weren't really to start with.
Whenever I do a mirror distortion of a flower it makes me want to go back to the original to check what I missed in its shapes and form which becomes apparent in the transformed version.
This image was taken a couple of months ago in a post-lockdown visit to a local open garden.
This is a plain colour edit (in Capture One) with a six-way mirror in Affinity Photo, moving the origin of mirrrors to find something interesting.
A bit of fun anyway. I'll post a link to the in-camera version as usual. I'll probably post some monochrome versions in the coming days.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday!
