What is it?

This didn't come out at all like what I thought I was shooting. I played with it a bit to try to clear it up but it only looked stranger.

It is still beautiful. I love how you gave it an abstract look.

[Meredith Jones]

I like it! Has an oil painting feel.

[Harry J Benson]

nice abstract; looks like a type of vegetable

Looks like a Chinese Lion in an abstract form. Is it a zucchini flower ??

Cool processing! It looks like a bud of some kind bursting into bloom!

[Beth]

Thanks for the comments. Those who guessed a bud guessed right. It is the bud of an Angel Trumpet. It will be yellow when it opens. It looked like a a lion's head to me, The eye was even in the right place.

It is a very unusual shot. I like your processing.
