Tessellation of dried branches at Quinta da Boa Vista, Funchal, Madeira. A single live flower added. It is reminiscent of rebirth of a garden in the spring.
All comments are welcome.
Repeated folding and reconnections of a portion of the original image. The blossom is also a tessellation.
Is this a composite?
Wow, this is fascinating. I had to look up Tessellation. I like the concept very much. I think it would be interesting to see your original images that you started with and learn the technique you used. Nice work.

Thanks David.
I have some images in my ToDo file taken especially for tessellations. When I get into that state of mind Iâll remember to save all the pieces and post them from beginning to end. The creations start with a particular image, or section of image, but I never know where they will end. Itâs a lot of playing around, adding here, deleting there, folding once, joining twice, etc.
A trekking trip in Nepal and the workshop of Katmandu artists creating Buddhist Mandalas was the inspiration. M.C. Escher is another source for stimulation, as is Robert Fathauerâs work done of computers.
You should look at the work of Connar Kellogg - https://connark-photography.weebly.com/home/tessellations

I have another in the Flora Showcase
Acer palmatum (Japanese maple)
and in the same are two sensational images by John Teti;
Have some fun,

âWhat immortal hand or eye dare frame thy fearful symmetry?â Whatâs not to like about tessellations? In the bathroom, on the butterfly, in the mosque ⊠But making your own like this is âfar outâ. Paul, youâve inspired me with this and your other contribution, and thanks for the links too. My daughter-in-law makes mandalas from flower petals sometimes. Iâll keep quiet now, just adding thanks for the fascinating shot!
WowâŠthis one needs to be seen large to be appreciated. The repeating pattern of jangly sticks is mesmerizing and the orange flower is the perfect counterpoint. So creative and different.
Now this is very cool looking. It was an inspired choice to mix color and B&W, it elevates the image significantly. Very creative vision and processing Paul, I love this image.
@Ed_McGuirk Thank you. I very much enjoy doing these. They start with a slice of an image thatâs interesting, and then I never know where they will end.
Namaste
