I took this picture with my smartphone camera of some of my mom's flowers. The original photo was cropped and modified with a couple of filters in GIMP. I used the G'Mic filters, Dream Smoothing and Cartoon. The result was layered together using a mask.
I like playing around with the software to try out different modifications to my photos.

The main focus almost looks like a cactus with the filters, although you can see it is more petal'y at the bottom.
I does remind me of that too. Originally I was thinking about reversing the two to filters with the cartoon effect framing the picture around a more realistic focused flower. I liked the way the cartoon effect showed the bumps on the flower so I made that more of the focus. I don't even have a mouse available so I didn't mask things like I might have.
