Aqua Water Lettuce and Abstract Variation for Texture

It has been very windy with the spring weather since the lst of March.   Very difficult to take images of spring blooms as even a tripod won't help blossoms blowing in the breeze. I was at A & A Nursery in  Browns Summit last week and decided to grab a few images of plants there with my iPhone6.  These were in the greenhouse area. I was looking for plants with texture that I might be able to change using an app to create something more abstract.   I found a hydroponic area that had water lettuce   The plant by itself was pretty with the yellow and green foilage.  So,  I decided to use filters in PSE11 and the end result was complete different colors and textures which I think I could use for a greeting card.   I changed it to the square mode. I used invert, then changed color more with color variations, increased highlights, shadows, midtones, and sharpened to the max for more texture and vibrant colors.
