Theme: Torso?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Another one from Mexico. I tried to bring out the textures and colours with High Pass, and a few textures from Belle Fleur.

In answer to your question, definitely yes. I like finding unexpected forms in disparate places, and this is a great example. That notwithstanding, the lines, the texture, the colors, and the composition are very appealing. The nearly horizontal lines add a lot.

Hey, Jackie, well seen and I like your subtle processing. Definitely looks like a torso and I like the horizontal lines as Dennis mentioned. I think you could crop a tad off the top (maybe less than half of the darkest area) without doing any damage to the intent.

Jackie, well done in seeing the potential of the subject. I also like the processing.

[Anita Bower]

I wouldn't have noticed the belly-button without your imaginative title. :-) Graceful. The darker slices on either side create the perfect frame.

Nicely minimalist. I might like to see one with a little less contrast, to see how that worked, but not certain on this.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Thanks for the comments, everytime I do an image with less contrast, it seems I get comments for more contrast. The original had the histogram more centered.
