    Default Rust

    Hi, everyone, sorry I've not been participating much this week - family and house guests have been eating up my time. This is an image of rust on a junked car - a pretty large crop so I lost some detail. I started with a curves adjustment, then Viveza to increase the contrast, saturation and structure. Then Topaz Adjust 5 Detail Light, Nik Cross Balance Tungsten to Daylight and Darken/Lighten Center and slight Detail Extractor. I finished with Topaz Clean Crisp Style twice.
    I liked the abstract look but it lost a lot when I downsized it. I was inspired by Kerry's abstract post.
    Thanks for looking - comments and suggestions appreciated.

    Great abstract lines and colors. It seems to almost have a personality with those 2 center dark spots for eyes and a curved line below for a nose/mouth all surrounded by lighter colors for a face-like image! The turquoise colors add the perfect "pop". Hey, is this a Rorschach test?!
