    Well, Neil, I spoke too soon about seeing nothing from you lately. Here you are, gracing us with a look at a...a...a....well, I don't know what. But it sure is interesting and exposes your ingenuity for creating visual impact at an extreme level. Great shot here, my friend.clap.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    rolleyes1.gif I can't quite match the weirdness of nature yet, Tom, though I'm surely trying!

    This is a Black Arum, the Voodoo Lily, the Snake Lily, the Stink Lily, the Black Dragon, the Black Lily, Dragonwort, and Ragons, according to Wikipedia. I like Lucifer Leaves Hell!

    Hi Neil, I really like the abstract nature of your processing on this one - I thought it was a UFO power source!

    Cheers, Richard.

    Very unique piece thumb.gif Nice you retained as much interior detail as you did with this kind of processing. Cool result :D
