This is an endoscopic view looking up from within the stem to the top of the seed head. This POV can only be done with 3D reconstruction and attest to the versatility of the CT scan. How cool is this?

Wonderful detail in the first image, especially in the larger version! The second image is very cool. The third image is an amazing view that I had never imagined being able to see.

These are all superb, Gary. I like the three different looks but the digital image is particularly nice.

Nice! Although I think I like the first the best...the second scan comes pretty close! I love how it brings attention to the incredible structure of this plant!

I do know what this is called -- it has two names: Brilliant; and Beautiful.
I like the "conventional" image because of exquisite detail and and the position of the seeds, which reveals even more of how the flower/fruit works. I reminds me of those gorgeous paintings in botany and natural history books that people end up framing a century later.
Then there are those "beyond visible light" scans! Both your innovation in using this imaging for art, and your artistic interpretation in manipulating the scans are truly remarkable. Like the master painters who illustrated those books of the past two centuries, your work transcends illustration; it is a wonderful combination of art and science.

Must admit the original wins hands down for me, Gary; I just love all the subtle colours and the full feel of the seedhead, replete with life. The scans. of course, are spectacular, but I can enjoy the detailed forms of the flower more in the original image

the original post, with all the detail and soft colors brought out by the hi-key background is stunning. The first CT scan is neat, but the 2nd has its own beauty, due to the symmetry.

Absolutely love your original image, Gary! The other treatments are also quite intriquing. . .they reveal lots of "hidden" beauty and are very eye-catching!  Re the first image, I love so much about this!. . . great comp, subject, details, colors, textures, processing treatment. Just stunning!

Exotic and wonderful! Great lighting and color. The CT is electrifying! As well as the endoscopic.
