How many words is this picture worth? What does it say? And how I made it

---

I created this using Image Analyzer, the function is "increases local contrast." If you zoom in on the upper right hand corner, you'll see the settings.

Then I copied and duplicated and flipped part of the image in PhotoFiltre to fill the space below the IA dialog box.

I tried my best to get it to line up, but think I was a few pixels off, so I

used PF's blur tool along the seam

Then used the pipette tool along the darker green areas to get that color

I used the spray-paint tool to speckle that in.

The original is to the right.

The way I captured this was by putting my camera beneath the insect-ravaged hollyhock leaf with the camera pointed at me. I took many such pictures... over the time I've taken photos of this, I probably have hundreds just of me peering through a leaf.

That's the technical info for you, how I got this shot

The question for you is...

I chose this particular image, and used these filters, to convey something very specific and important.

What story does this image tell, what message does it convey?
