Original image


step 1 of 10

the first step is to remove the background from source image

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 1

step 2 of 10

make a new background layer and paint it black, and then move the daisy to the bottom left corner

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 2

step 3 of 10

duplicate the daisy and then use the free transform tool to decrease it, rotate it a bit and move the center of it somewhere in the bottom middle of the image

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 3

step 4 of 10

duplicate the transformed daisy and then apply transform again [cntrl+shift+T] as many times as wished

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 4

step 5 of 10

select each daisy layer and change its HLS values [ctrl+U]

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 5

step 6 of 10

merge the daisy layers [by selecting them all and then ctrl+E] and then duplicate the image, and by using the transform tool move the center to the center of the daisy and then rotate it a bit

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 6

step 7 of 10

duplicate the layer and apply the transform again tool. repeat as many times as required until the new daisy is shaped and then merge the layers

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 7

step 8 of 10

duplicate the new daisy and then using the free transform tool decrease it a bit and rotate it

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 8

step 9 of 10

change the HSL values of the current layer [i.e H:50, L:100]

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 9

step 10 of 10

duplicate the layer, then apply the transform again tool and change its HSL values. repeat as many times as wished and finally using a soft brush, set to a transparency level fill the background with a soft color

Creation of fractal daisy: Step 10

Final result
