My OOTB Imagination

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks

Let my imagination run wild with distort filters in CS4 from a dry piece of dead Cholla Cactus with bird seed scattered on it.

Sorta looks like a Seal to me . . . what about you?

CC's warmly invited

Having fun

Nice image and application, Gus.

In keeping with your handle, this is a slightly more colorful version of the same image. Just for your enjoyment! :D Incase you wish to colorize yours! :D

Gus, It's a nice B&W. You did a nice job with mending the edges. I might run some NR on it. I love the original colors to the Cholla and seed-just wondering how it would look.

Amazing what it started out as! I don't see the seal-to me it looks like a hub cap.;)

Looks like someone flushing the world down a really big toilet (kind of like what we're doing in real life now that I think about it!) Very interesting image, Gus, although I can't say I see a seal in there anywhere!;)
