Hi Freddie, I love to see, as well as make, pareidolia images which seem to look like something but are really something else. I see feet here, maybe bird feet with claws. Great job taking a reasonably routine picture and converting it into something less obvious where imagination can play. It is a bit eerie. Karl   Posted: 09/10/2023 14:56:37

Bird claws was my first reaction. I am reading right to left, so the lines of the claws go up, and I wondered what did you do to those poor chicken legs?   Posted: 09/10/2023 15:33:49

Freddie - truly an abstract image as I had no idea what the source could be. I do not see insects - I see fantastical feet.
I like your selection/isolation of the interesting forms and the contrast you have drawn from an essentially white surface. Perhaps some regions are a little too black (?) or perhaps this is deliberate to from an eerie shadow.
The use of snow features against a background from which they can be isolated seems very rich in opportunity - I will be out this winter to imitate.

Wonderful abstract and perfect for the coming season. The B&W conversion is perfect. I see a fantastical chimera with insect claws on the left, human feet on the right and scaley skin. I brings to mind the marvelous old movie "The Fly".   Posted: 09/18/2023 19:45:45

Gerard, I think you are right that I may have overdone the "blackness". Even eeriness can be taken too far!   Posted: 09/18/2023 20:05:50
