One thing about an iPhone, it is usually always with you. I was at the gym the other day and spotted this coleus with the lime green and purple colors. I knew when I took the image I wanted to do something different with it as altered art.I did crop the original image on the left to get the texture I wanted. I used the Camera+ macro setting which does also give you a limted depth of field. No additional edits. Post editing I decided to use the color variatons in PSE 11. I increased the red x4 and got a red/orange/yellow color. Then I used the invert artistic filter which changed it to the blue and turquoise colors. I increased the brightness and the contrast. Some people have told me it looks psychedelic. Hope I can go back with a designated macro lens and see what kind of detail I can get as there were other coleus plants in this planter. I started an album in Facebook for Altered Art Photo Images. May eventually be able to use for digital collages.
