Swirled Flower - Gaura Lindheimeri

Last month Diana @ludwigsdiana posted a whole month of swirled photos and I thought they looked so pretty.

As we have had a quiet Easter I decided to have a play with some flower photos too and turn them into swirls. I quite like the result.

This photo is of a Gaura Lindheimeri - Butterfly Bush flower posted on here a couple of years ago. Below is a link to the original flower.

I quite like it as a swirl. I think this type of processing can become quite addictive.

This is wonderful Babs, I love the three different shapes and colour. It's all about choosing the right flower which you did.

I never intended doing a whole month, but it became so addictive and every flower so different, I just could not stop!

I also turned everyone to see which looks best. I still have another 30 of them sitting in a folder ;-)

I love gaura. We have one much like your link in our yard, although not in bloom right now. This swirl is terrific. I like the colors and the “butterfly” for a butterfly bush!

[Rick]

Great shot and edit. Looks like a butterfly in the middle.

Amazing! Thanks for including the link to the "original"

@ludwigsdiana I can see why you did a month of them. They all look pretty don't they.

@koalagardens I copied her idea, they can be quite addictive.

I quite like the editing thanks to Diana who showed me how to do it.

@wakelys @tunia @carole_sandford @olivetreeann @shutterbug49 @rickster549 Thanks, it is aptly named a butterfly bush and it really does look like a butterfly in this photo.

I see a butterfly (of sorts) which is really cool
