"WOW", did I have some fun with this challenge, as I explored a new area of photoshop re "Gradient Map", which is legal in "Basic".
I love the strong colors that I was able to achieve, and I think it suits this challenge really well, re the wonderful strong patterns the colors gives the image.
Yes, it is another Agave plant, but that is what I love, and I love photography them until I have explored all the avenues I can. They are so archectural, with strong lines, and a great composition.
I hope you like this one.....

hi shez ... i didnt vote on all the pattern challenge and missed this one ... i love the extreme colours and the vibrant blue .. fantastic composition ... reckon it should've done heaps better ...
Wow! I really like the colour shifting but the saturation seems just a tiny touch too harsh though at the same time it's kind of interesting. Love the single very sharp point included at the centre.
Nicely composed & great subject, but I don't think you did the image any favors by boosting the colors like you did - those blues are downright annoying (but maybe this was a UV shot...)
If this was an IR/UV, then I think it would have been better served by bringing some of the bottom end back in & creating some dynamic range in luminance while possibly dialing back the sat just a skosh.
