I put a gerbera behind a net door, coated it with water and shot it in natural afternoon lighting. It was post-processed in PS: level adjustment, unsharp mask, brightness and contrast. I tried my best to make it look like Chuck Close's painting.

Very interesting. I like this abstract and I think this is very creative (well, creativity inspired by Mr. Close probably, but that's ok).
The grid maybe is a little bit too thick because the flower is almost not recognisable, but maybe that was intened.
It takes some time until you notice that some of the spaces are filled with water and create a refraction. There seems to be no pattern though.
If this photo was inspired by a spcific painting from Chuck Close, I would like to know which one. I looked on the Web for a while but didn't fine one.
I definately love the idea of this photo. The boarder works very nicely too. It kinda hurts my eyes, but I think if I saw it in a book I would be quite impressed. I think the water is pretty neat too.
