    A line of stilts, flipped in place (multiply blend), then shifted and blended. A bunch of layers Nik SEP, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Impression (Georgia O'Keefe), Topaz Simplify for balancing tone, color & detail.

    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers,

    That's very clever Michael! It took a while to absorb it, thought I was seeing things at first with them going in all directions! I like the processing.

    Well done! Like Judy, it took me a while to absorb it. I like the softness and bit of visual confusion, it adds to the interest. What do you think of maybe not having the black stutter-blotches along the top right and repeated on the bottom left?

    Hi, Michael, definitely a "Dave" image. I love it.

    Very clever with the birds going every which way. It is fun to try and make some cohesion out of it in your mind. Must say I think it might be stronger without the blue circles around the edges. But definitely a "Dave" image!

    Thanks for making me smile. Wonderfully creative and fun image. I agree with Jackie and Nancy about the dark spots.

    Judy, Nancy, Cheryl, Jackie, Anita,

    Thanks much for the comments. They are greatly appreciated. I agree that the dark spots should go.

    Cheers,
