3-step image editing that turned my average picture into an unworldly image

Hi!

Sometimes I enjoy playing with my pictures I take with my mobile phone by applying various effects manually, using image editing software. Recently, I took a picture of roses. By changing a few parameters, I transformed it into something unreal.

I used an open-source software called mtPaint. First, I changed the gamma and contrast parameters.

And in the end, I changed the hue.

This is how I produced a pretty nice picture of blue roses. I don't know how I will use it—maybe I'll design a calendar using it, or I'll use it as a book cover image...

How do you like the final image?
