    Very cool shot, Cristóbal. Great colors and nicely abstract. Unlike many other abstract shots, this one doesn't make me wonder what the hell it is--it just stands on its own. Out of curiosity, I tried rotating it and each rotation had a slightly different feeling. My favorite was 90 degrees CCW, though 90 degrees CW also appealed to me. I can't explain why, just a gut reaction. In fact, it might be interesting to arrange all four rotations placed on a single canvas, either in a 2 by 2 square or 4 across. Just a thought.

    Well done.

    Cristobal, I liked the original and really love the combi-rework. My only very slight quibble is that I wish focus on the brass part in the foreground were a tad sharper. Thanks for sharing your art!

    Cool, I like it. With four images, there are 24 possible permutations using each rotation once, and 256 if you allow duplication. That could keep you busy for a while :smiley: .

    Hi Sara, I agree. It was difficult to get everything in focus as the brass tube curves.

    Ha! It would keep me busy for sure! You're welcome to try! :)

    You know. Cristóbal, that I'm an abstract freak. I find this production very appealing. Well done.

    Take care,

    Tom

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

    Nicely done Cristobal

    You're a good sport - fielding suggestions... I have one experiment..

    Pixelate (sharply) an oval layer in the center of the color field and blend edges... see how it looks...

    Rags

    I'm happy to play Rags, but I don't know how to do what you are suggesting...
