Hi Freddie, The switch to vertical and contrast increase make an entirely new image. Emphasizing the detail in the ripples brings impact to the scene. Well done. Karl   Posted: 12/13/2024 15:27:25

I love distorted reflections in water. The way that rotations alter the interpretation and affect of an image is is fascinating, and your rotation of this image to a vertical orientation is particularly interesting. I see many tall thin warriors in full ceremonial garb in the vertical orientation, but in the horizontal original this abstract does not reveal warriors. Both are pleasing. I might have included the boat (or part of it) for yet another story.   Posted: 12/15/2024 19:10:48

Oooh. I am thinking feathers. What a lovely abstract, and you used a lot of creative thinking to get there.   Posted: 12/18/2024 19:13:57

Freddie, I love the textures throughout. I keep thinking it is some artifact left from pieces of a dyed yellow hide that is sewn together, which you found in an architectural dig in South America.   Posted: 12/19/2024 06:05:41

Thanks, everyone! Very merry holidays to you all.   Posted: 12/20/2024 17:38:34
