Flowers Collage

This was just finished. It was an idea I had for awhile but wasn't sure how best to execute. Originally, I figured I could round up enough photos of flowers from magazines to create this piece. I realized that wasn't going to work so I decided to shoot photos of roses myself. I then took them into the computer to manipulate the colors, contrast, etc... Everything was then printed on nice photo / linen paper, cut and assembled. It was influenced by a Damien Hirst a freind had bought of butterflies assembled to create a kind of a kaleidoscope effect.
