Blended two motion blurred images of cars passing by on a very overcast day, used liquify filter for up-down curves, Topaz Clean2. Red, oranges from head and tail lights. I might mention that Adobe bridge can load images into layers in PS Tools/Photoshop/Load Files into Photoshop Layers. comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
I have to say that I am having a tough time with this one, Bill. I've come back to it twice now and both times I have had the same reaction. I like the concept but the execution just isn't ringing my bell. I keep finding myself looking for something to latch on to in the image and not finding it. I just keep following the wavy lines right out of the image... every time.
Very Good points Ed. I have the exact same problem with many of the abstracts I am seeing; lack of a focal point. Elements leading out of an image isn't good in any image either, abstract or otherwise, and I hadn't thought about that here. Great observations! regards~Bill
Bill, I like the abstract look you've got here. The colors and flow are very nice. I might crop down below the white line if it were mine and make the orange "dip" the focal point. As with all art-beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That said-I think it's cool.
Good idea Denise! The orange does become a focal point, and we've eliminated the distraction of the bottom! Thank You~Bill
Bill, It looks great-the lights and flow along w/ the color are really nice.The orange is a nice eye catcher!
I think repost is just fantastic
TFS
Nice image and application, Bill.
I like the concept and the repost is a big improvment. However, like Ed notes about the original, I still have some areas that don't seem to work for me. The overlap of color, in the hard lines in the central area versus the soft areas of overlap in the UR area , is not consistent or in my view helpful to the image. Don't want to put too much on that, but that is the area that distracts me when viewing.
However, I do like the image concept you developed.
Bill, The repost rocks! Great looking image w/ cool neon lights.
