Trying to make something worth looking at

DaddyO

Would like to hear your impressions for these 2 photo manipulations.
Used photoshop and virtual photographer to get to this point.
Sometimes I get interesting and sometimes not so much.
Done using 1 single photo for each.
Thanks in advance. Michael

Hmm...there are some interesting parts in both of these, but I'm not sure either one can stand on its own as a compelling image. In the first one, I like the concentric yellow, red and brown burst. The silver part somehow reminded me of a bent paper clip. The lower right third didn't work for me at first, though on second viewing, it suggests a human figure with arms outstretched. Does this mean I'm crazy, doctor? :crazy In the second one, there is a part that strongly suggests an eye and head, maybe a lizard or maybe an alien. That piece is pretty cool, but the rest doesn't really say much to me.

Keep at it, though. It's fun to do and the results can be surprising.

I like the first one much more... Looks like something I might see as a large print on the wall at an airport or some place like that.

My thanks for your great feedback points Richard. Crazy? Think its just
a right brain leaning thing. You can't be faulted for that. If you knew where these started you'd think I had a screw or two loose.
Rest assured I'll be continuing things like these pieces. Once in awhile there
is pay dirt in it and also a certain shear pleasure in the effort.
These two I'll toss back with the others and keep going for more.

Thanks Roadkill!!! Thats some encouraging feedback. Thing that rings so
true is that things like this are seen large at places like airports. Anybody
know who I need to talk to ta get that done?
