About Inspired by Robin Wickenkamp, I took a previous floral and tried a multifaceted filter on it. The attempt failed for lack of background delineation but a kaleidoscope filter did have an interesting effect.
This is a hidden photo of Emperor Orzack and his minions from the Planet Zamabama. They are lurking in our Azaleas.
Hand held, 12 mm Kenko extension tubes, RAW file.

Interesting...
If i wasn't puzzled enough by the image, it even gets worse by the discussion. The fame of emperor Orzack has not reached the European continent yet, so i quickly did some investigation and googled on Orzack. And look what i found as the first result.
Interesting....

Thanks, Meg. Yup, things went a little crazy here but at least did NOT involve inhaling any illegal substances. (Although I would like to declare pollen illegal). :) :)

Shakes head and wonders what they are all on…..also wonders if they have any to spare. ;))

Haven’t a clue what you’re all talking about but I do see your monster and all that dreaded pollen…..nice shot…..I’m gone before the pollen gets me. :))

Thanks, Maryanne. Too much pollen in the air has made me go a bit crazy.

Hi Jan. My, you are certainly doing lots of interesting, strange and intriguing images. I can't nearly compete with the chatter on this image, so I'll just say -- very cool.

Biljana -- I forgot to ask the Emperor until I just received your reminder. I went out to his throne in the flowers a few minutes ago and received permission to give him a kiss on your behalf. He says that was fine becasue you are special.

Robin -- Thanks so much for your comments! Just remember: my vision was inspired by you, for good or bad (of the safety of the world). I have already passed on the Emperor's comments about the still unnamed bear and Doyle has been warned. I can host the bear but cannot trust his safety if brought near the Emperor and his minions. The Emperor has a voracious appetite, especially for stuffed animals.
Your vigilant friend, Jan

Alright, I must confess I was baffled by the title but...a little homework and I am on the same page as everyone else, or at least I think so...could be the Emperor and his minions have messed with my mind. Now that I am aware of what lurks in your azaleas Jan, I believe we have some answers as to why your creative vision takes a left turn now and then... ;)

Minions everywhere...with their puffy little faces (perhaps they have accidently ingested too much fertilizer, not good) and blank stares. Very cool effect...thanks for obliging and a good laugh friend!

Take care...Robin

ps...Research shows the combination of fertilizer AND bear stuffing could lead to devastating consequences for us earthlings...please, for the love of Pete, DO NOT host the bear!

Mel -- Yes, Yes, Yes..... The Azaleas. Riddled with creatures from outer space along with the their pollen bombs. These are dangerous creatures to some of us.
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman Jan Hoffman   {K:39467} 5/6/2007
Thanks, Srna. When life will not give us monsters then we must make our own. The Emperor. however, is a nice monster, providing he does not eat us when we are sleeping. I also believe we should all have minions, people that hold doors open for us, serve us our dinners, scrape ice off our car windows and trim out bushes. The Emperor has these minions. Thanks for taking a look at the Emperor.
--Best to you and hugs, Jan

Emperor Orzack has his own charm, though who could resist him ? He has so attractive tones and colours and magical power and very hypnotic details, ha, got all capabilities for all he wants to doooooooo ... take care dear Jan, be nice to him, although this is not the granite of your safeness ;)
He is excellent (as dear Onie would say) Sir :) !!!
Hm, Jan, you have created your own monster :), great job Sir :)
Excellent one :) !!!
Take care

My oh my, Jan, what is everyone on this weekend?! ROFL doesn't even start to describe it... I'd better warn Doyle!

AJ -- I asked the Emperor and he said he would be glad to entertain Doyle's bear and then he would eat him. There may be a problem with my Zamabamaian language translator but the Emperor was licking his lips when he said it.
--Best regards, Jan

AJ Miller AJ Miller   {K:49168} 5/5/2007
Would the Emperor consider entertaining Doyle's bear for a week? A stamp in his passport from Zamabama would certainly be cool.

AJ

PS. Oh, as is this composition! Fascinating how it changes when viewed at different ranges.

Biljana - Thanks for seeing this with Hogar's help. The emperor has never been kissed before so I am not sure it is safe for me to pass that on. I will ask him.
--Best to you & Hogar, Jan

Onie -- I await the police at my door but I hear they are ridden with allergies and may not be able to enter the forbidden pollen-zone. It is there that the Emperor awaits with his minions.
Have to go.... I hear someone at my front door.
--Fearful and frightened, Jan
PS: I am just a humble human

Good Heavens Jan!!!... You mean THAT Emperor Orzack... and his millions of minions!!!...

The Zamabama Secret Police were here asking just minutes ago as regards the millions of minions that seem to be running riot... Said I knew nothing, but I knew Emperor Orzack was hiding in the Azaleas at your place, so, expect a knock anytime know... ~~GRIN~~...

NEWSFLASH!!!... The Planets are now aligned with Lunacy in the Seventh Heaven, I'm twitchy, itchy and scratchy... Do Zamabama'ians distribute allergies???... I don't know, not sure... WHO ARE YOU SIR!!!...
