Stargazer Lily Makes a Great Subject for Filter Fun

The effects of the various filters available in Photoshop show up really well on a single subject. I had seen a Stargazer Lily being used in one of my reference books and I thought I'd like to try it out myself. Here are some interesting filters that I applied (in alphabetical order):

Craquelure

Craquelure refers to the hairline surface cracking of paintings into characteristic texture patterns determined by climate conditions and materials used in the creation of the painting. In the 18th century, Craquelure was so popular that to English painters it became known as Craquelure anglaise. Today, forgers and restorers often imitate it to enhance the look of authenticity in their works.
