Hi Michael, Very interesting shot What on earth were you photographing? I can see two faces, one above the other.

Cheers, Richard.

That's quite an arresting image, Michael. Honestly, at first glance, it seemed real " busy " to me and I didn't hang around too long. Thankfully, I have gone back to it a couple of times....during which I've come to really like this work. I found myself scanning the whole scene very carefully....making sure I didn't miss something. For an image to hold one's interest long enough to allow for such scrutiny speaks very well for this shot. Good job, buddy.

Take care,

Tom

Tom, thanks for describing your consideration timeline and what it contained. High value ticket. You would know that is important to anyone with a result that plays like this one attempts to do with every piece of itself carefully worked out. Reminds me of a concept car displayed before a hopefully widely accepting audience on opening day. Meeting with approval from whats offered always the goal in all that hard work and vision.
Achieving it a blessing.

That's really imaginative and colorful Michael - another nice abstract.
I see the faces of course - but I also see, at the bottom, an ancient fertility symbol... so, something for everybody!

Michael! superb rendition of abstract facialness!

Good one, Michael. Nice color scheme and putting the reflection axis off-center was a smart move.

Thanks for saying Eric We are working our hardest to find and develop nice ones. Our lilacs came and went in like 2 days so another opportunity had to be found and quick That opportunity really panned out for me for abstracts of variety.

Pretty much every trick I know, all the simple ones anyway, went into it. I clearly remember the day I learned the lesson that carries this works success
over the goal line. How not to over use it is squarely on the table. Thats a toughy.
The color scheme as you know could have been many things and was on the way here. What I think I am coming across is that the pixels and what ever they hold guides to specific "right" landing spots for overall appearance to most every detail in it. Its actually amazing to watch it unfold as the adjustments are made. One spot immediately says "what are you thinking?" and the next says "the pixels play here" for what you put in. Know what I mean?

Hey Cristóbal Thanks for stopping by and posting your thoughts. Very nice the work is charming you too. Thats pretty cool! Couldn't ask for more than that Kaleidoscope. Almost yes, but it is easily a launch pad for one or more than one. The originals for this would split up nicely for kaleidoscope. I hear there is software out there that will produce them easily. By hand like this not so easy but I have seen it done by hand very effectively. One person that produces those is local. Had no idea the extent of his work till recently. Serious quality artist that fellow. I will be trying them once I figure how to prep
