SmugMug Daily Link
I Googled 'mandala templates' and found a bunch out there. The one I used for today's daily seemed to have a reasonable amount of sections to fill in. Some had a huge number and even though they were pretty, I steered clear of them. I used 5 different butterfly photos (swallowtail, sulphur, monarch, and fritillary) to fill in the template. Most of the sections have original color except the sulphur one which I tinted from yellow to orange. I like how it turned out, but I'm not thrilled with it. It doesn't wow me.
I started following around with various things in PSE. I duplicated the butterfly wheel, rotated it 90 degrees to the right, and applied a difference filter to the rotated layer. Boy did that produce some awesome colors! I think I tried an invert and a poster filter and a couple of other filters plus using color variations to create the same image in many colors. I don't know what I thought I was going to do with those...
Which is your favorite color? I really like the pink one below. Donnie thought the blue one was best. I think the sun points and the layer outside of them need more contrast between them in the fully colored ones something I didn't really see until this AM.
