Seattle mini world

[Hazel Grant]

Just to get the ball rolling, I pulled out one I did in 2012 when we did mini worlds. Did a bit of adjusting with cloning, desat, etc.

"Just to get the ball rolling . . ." That's clever, Hazel.

I like the lack of symmetry and the fact that the circumference isn't smooth. You've got some interesting and appealing contrasts going on: The stark simplicity of the white on black versus the high energy of the mini-world, itself, is one. The white fill of the Space Needle compared to the white outlines of the rest of the image is another.

Hi, Hazel, the ball will start rolling in April:S3: March theme is clouds and fog - I'll remove the theme part of your title. It's still a nice Mini-world. (And I'm sure there's plenty of fog in Seattle!).

[Hazel Grant]

oops....guess I should get my glasses checked:bg3:

Hazel, this is one of the most creative mini-worlds I've seen. Fabulous in graphic black & white, mostly abstract and grounded just a bit in reality with the recognizable Space Needle! Ha! You made me wonder where did March go?

[Diane Miller]

It may be early for the theme but I'm nominating Hazel for the Title of the Year!

Very cool image, too....

Was that an intentional pun--getting the ball rolling?
Excellent work! I like the simplicity and impact of the white on black. The semi-abstract nature of the image is very appealing.

[Hazel Grant]

no, didn't even think of the pun til you noticed it. Thanks for your comments.
