Hi Matt,

It's looks very ...

PS: Printed your canvas for you today - will probably be able to spray and frame for you tomorrow. Will include "the making of" DVD as well!

Cheers,

Hey, is this becoming a branch of the Fielding and Nelson Camera Club??....

or if we outsiders are allowed to comment, what causes those diagonal lines on the corn?

[milleniummuppet]

Hi,
Thanks Colin, will look froward to the results!

As for the diagonal lines in the grass, that is actually a leaf. (Close up shot that I can post later if you like).
My 'Photography is becoming increasingly more like digital artwork in the sense that it is becoming less 'real'.
But I like the results.

As for the centered thing, I don't know what it is but I have this urge to put the feature in the center. In this case the tree radiates root-like objects from it ( leaf ).
It kind of mesmerizes you!

Thanks Matt - I think it 'speaks success' for your abstract style that it was not immediately obvious to me that it was a manipulated composite

At present I think I am exploring the edges of making images abstract by omission of context; perhaps this approach may be a logical sequel

[milleniummuppet]

omission of context?

By the way, for any one interested, these are the two photos used for the composition:

Didn't use the photo of your frying pan this time eh Matt?

I really like the original, the photos contents look so soft. But I do want a silver tree

Yea, that was a result of the HDR blending, as it was a windy day.

My brother did this blending images and textures for his fine art masters degree some years ago. I have mixed views on its application so best keep quiet.
