About the Image(s)
I started with a file collection Crood Cross that I took at the MOMA I San Francisco. I Duplicated it and flipped it. I also took off parts of it that did not work in the composition. I then took that half and duplicated it and flipped it and set it up as four x reflection of the originalll. There there was a colored hole in the middle and I had a flower I had played with earlier, twirling it. I put that in the middle. I then changed the color to match the blues better. The rest of the shading and interest arose from the original, not anything I added after the fact. I hope you like it .

Lot of impact, great idea. Posted: 05/05/2023 16:21:21
Your creation is a wonderful conversion resulting in a wonderful design. My preference, however, is to have an image that is not so centered. I hope you are not offended by my taking your image and trying to create an image with that is not so centered. Posted: 05/09/2023 18:51:29
This is a wonderful image so well put together and for me it works because it is central. Just a tiny bit of cloning needed cetral right where there is a small grey square. Posted: 05/13/2023 15:02:44
Thanks, Ian,
I see that now. My. eyes are terrible with macular degeneration, so I often miss things like that. Posted: 05/15/2023 13:14:45

Nice job, I agree with Ian about the "central effect" and also the right hand cloning out. Posted: 05/20/2023 03:47:42
A beautiful creation - love the geometric design - a feast for my eyes! Great lines, shapes and tones. I would only have 2 suggestions - darken the outer areas just a bit with the gradient tool, as it appears a bit bright for me. I hope it's not my monitor, but I see some smudging in the blue in the middle - contrasts with the beautiful clean design in general. Well done. Posted: 05/21/2023 22:50:11
Joan, I, too, see the tiny imperfection, far right. But the centered image is so clever and beautiful with interest in the flower and depth in the surround. Well done! Posted: 05/23/2023 09:54:21
