Yes, I've used this original before, as 'Breakfast at the Citrus Hotel'. This is simply a different derivation.

I made the original slide on Kodachrome 64, in 1983.

This version merges color schemes from two photos of exotic plants I photographed in a Greensboro, NC, park garden.

Eye-catching! Tell us more about your process for "merging two color schemes," please

I like it - well done.

Photoshop neural filters are fun. I have all my work in Lightroom Classic. I export a 16-bit TIFF in ProPhoto RGB color space to Photoshop, fire up the Neural Filter interface, and play around with the filters and the sliders in them until I see something I like. Then I save it back to Lightroom Classic and tweak further, as needed, before exporting a JPEG.

Several of the filters let you choose an external source from which to merge a color scheme or style. It can be any JPEG or TIFF. I generally like files with strong colors that work well together. Here are the two images I used for the derivation above. They were snapshots taken with my iPhone 7 Plus as my wife and I strolled through a park in Greensboro, NC. I used one with each of two filters. I played extensively with the sliders for each filter. Adobe's defaults are usually WAY too strong.

Many thanks!

I find it interesting that the color scheme is repeated in the sky and the balcony railings. The rest of the building is unaffected and that is what makes it interesting to me.

There is precious little unaffected in the image... This is straight from the original Kodachrome. The vignetting is from a lens hood used with a too-thick polarizer.

I like the original just fine; but you are so right that there are endless possibilities with this raw material. Thanks.
