Familiar in the Unfamiliar

Images of plants often reveal interesting and unexpected lines and shades. It is interesting to discover familiar shapes in the midst of creative activity. I laughed when I saw two arrowheads in upper and lower half of the image, in the center.  A pair of small fish appear toward the top center and bottom center. Now, how did arrowheads and fish find their way into this image? This unusual image started its life as a close-up photo of a paper lantern from a Chinese flame tree, resting among blades of grass.
