This'll Do Too - Authentic photoblog flavour

Ok, time for something different. I am going to be doing a little experiment / project and am inviting any and all to join in the fun. If this turns into something that people like, I will create a separate photoblog for various projects like this.

For the next few entries, I will be taking this base image (taken at the Chicago Botanic Gardens) and see what my brain can churn out. The rules are quite simple, take a base image and see what can come out of it. Any and all modification can be made to the base image, including adding in other elements.

I would like to see this be a community event so any and all criticisms, challenges or suggestions for improvement are appreciated and welcome. If you would like to join in on the fun, please post your interest and I will email you a link to be able to download a copy of the file (it will be in Nikon NEF format) (if you would like it in a different format, please ask). If this turns into a separate site, there will be a way to post your image to the site. From this image, you are welcome to post a comment with a link to your site and the image you have created. The only stipulation is that source material credit is given and that it be used only for this project (If you want to use for other purposes, please feel free to ask).
