Wonder how much they cost?
ooooh! Spaghetti trees! I'm really enjoying these.
As for using technology available, I suppose that it's all valid - for example, if I do a picture where I like the composition, but do a naff paint job on it, I often use tracing paper to transfer the composition to another piece of paper to start again, but would it be wrong for example to take a quick photo of it and use a digital projector to transfer it?

Superb l-t s - a wonderful bird painted so that mixture of delicacy and power comes through. I like the morph, too - but, as a skua fan, the original has such a lot going for it. Fabulous.
I see these as book covers, eye-catching and intriguing. The skua is a gem, unconventional composition that is just full of energy and excitement, and the morph is interesting too. Yes, I could see a dipper fitting well into that scene too.
I think I'll have to make it a resolution of mine to 'get lost' in these sort of scenes when I'm out a bit more often. So much abstraction and form that is just ignored (me being very guilty of this - but I'm terrified of frogs, so I've an excuse!) Particularly enjoy watching the shadows of surface tension.
It is amazing what images lurk within and beneath surfaces when you take the time. It may be because i am particularly fond...especially in the summer...of observing dragonflies and all manner of bizarre insects...that i 'zone in' on these 'little universes'...and they are really 'other' worlds....!
ps...you will have to get over your 'frog phobia' Nick...do you have the same feelings about snakes...?...[not that that's important or in anyway relevant]....:smoke:
No, it's just frogs, snakes I love. Well, frogs I love too, just can't go too near them, and it's just frogs over about an inch long. Big toads and small frogs are no problem, green frogs scare the heeby jeebies out of me and common frogs are the devil. Perhaps it's odd, but I also have a phobia of small plastic gifts in Kinder Surprises and cornflakes.
apart from that, I can assure you I'm quite normal! :smoke:
Book covers perhaps....or maybe an 'owl calendar' for the visually fixated...[and possibly quite demented]..
ps...as an antidote for all the morphing movement images....i thought...[for some reason]...that i'd just mix it up a bit and just attach a couple of, hopefully, more relaxing photo's that literally reflect my fascination with water and movement.....[yadda yadda and so forth]....
pps...as a self designated spokesperson for 'Pondlife International'....i would just like to say that i can't wait until spring arrives when dragonflies will once more grace the air...[having been aquatic creatures for so long].....
The one on the left is particularly striking.
