Abstract Thursday: "Natural"

Well, I started off with something that fitted this week's Abstract Thursday theme: a shot of one of our azalea bushes. 

They've been a lovely display this year, but now most of them are past and the drooping blooms hanging down gave the me the idea for this image. I added some motion blur to give downwards streaks, desaturated the green leaves, and recoloured some of the blooms. 

Is it still "natural"? I don't know! Somehow I don't see "streaking the azalea" taking over from "gilding the lily"!... :D
