    Gus, I like the sig. The graphic style abstract is a nice twist for you. I like that the grey area goes off the page-it adds interest. Nice texture also.:)

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for your kind words. The photo I started with was a Curve-billed Thrasher's eye I had captured.

    Regards

    Uncle Gus

    Thanks Gus. I understood that part I just cannot understand what part of the eye is depicted in the image...

    I'm guessing it was part of the retina... :D

    Hi Folks

    Thank you very much for looking at my creation.

    Actually it was the complete eye, any along the way I thought of using the array of colors in small pixel squares, however, I just keep using different filters, blurs, vibrance etc.

    Keep smiling

    Amazing how you started with an eye and ended up with this! Gus, you have quite the imagination! I also like that the gray area goes off the frame - very creative and OOTB!

    Hi

    You guys know how to make points with your kind CC's.

    The one I make the most points with women is: I ask them, "Do you know there are 2 kinds of women?" They look at me with arched eyebrows, until I reply " There are good ones & better ones" that bring out big smiles and usually the question, "What are we? Naturally, of course the reply is "You".

    Who do you think when he started out selling was told this "You'll slide further on bull pucky than on gravel"

    Thanks again folks, your tips are much appreciated.

    Keep smiling

    gush aka Uncle Gus

    Hey Gus, I do like this one! It reminds me of cut paper art.
