This Time, Just One Flower

For the last several posts, I have been showing the results of my experiment in taking multiple photos of flowers from various angles and bringing them into Photoshop as layers. I then change the layer opacities and blending modes as well as layer positions, if need be, to end up with something I find visually pleasing. In this instance I tried it using only one flower. It actually came out mildly asymmetric, when I was actually hoping for very close symmetry. To fulfill my vision I selected half the photo, flipped it horizontally, and simply moved it to the other side. Now we have symmetry!

After obtaining something I find pleasing, I do some further processing as well as applying several textures to the image.

To give an idea of what one of the base images looked like (the final image is made from about 25 images taken at different angles) I have posted it below.
