Flower Under Glass
There are all sorts of filters out there that have nothing to do with the computer. By using simple tools the photographer can achieve some interesting results. Look of such things as reflective surfaces, obscure glass, screens, even fog will change the appearance of a subject. One cool technique is to smear some Vaseline on clear glass, not your lens, to get a very interesting soft focus filter.
This photographer used ribbed glass to shoot these flowers. The distortion form the vertical pattern in the glass has created a segmented scene as if the image were chopped up into strips and pasted back together. Note there are little beads of water on the transparent surface. I like the brilliant colors of the flowers that appear to be accented by the distortion through the glass filter.
I would like to make one small suggestion. The vertical lines appear to be tilting as they move from left to right. The photographer might consider making the pattern vertical or accentuating the tilt to make it look more purposeful.
