FOUR FROM ONE

Believe it or not, all four of these "images" were created from one basic image that had originally been altered via Irfanview and the Harry's Filters plug-ins. The second image down is that image.

"The Water Garden"

"Super Nova"

Untitled 3-9-2009

"Panning for Gold" -- Look closely and you'll see the "gold"!

Pizza Anyone!

Don't know why, but this one made me think of pizza when it first started to take form on my screen. So now we have "Slices"of Pizza, anyone?

I've Been BUSY!

Actually this one came second as I wanted to see what change wold happen if I ever so slightly twirled the image, hence "Free Fall". I didn't feel this one really needed the "frame" so I opted to do just the double mat around the dimensionally matted central image.












I had been watching a rather large squadron of Sand Hill Cranes fly over the afternoon I made this. They seemed a bit disorganized, like they were waiting for someone to take the lead and no one wanted to! Eventually one bird did take on the responsibility of lead bird and they all vanished from sight as they climber ever higher for a long night journey to their northern nesting and breeding grounds. I wish they would fly close enough that I could really see them as individual birds and not just various sized black specks in the sky.











This is the basic form that started it all! I extrude the image into extended triangles, blacken the background and then twirl and contort until I got something pleasing to the eye. Often I added a "lenses flare". Most of the time there were no "frames" as I did not have the filter sets needed to add them. That has changed!
