five-footed flower mandala

This was an experiment in defining a "petal" from a photo of a nude woman lying in a bed with sheets draped around her. Her foot formed the center of the flower.

I then (clumsily) transfomed the petals around the center of the flower mandala and played with filters and gradients and layers.

Here's the result. If you look closely, you can indeed see the five feet of the center of the flower mandala.

[Note to myself: next time, when making the initial cut, be more careful about creating sharp corners. These petals lack soft, organic-looking curves.]
