Again, a single image, manipulated. I'll break with my previous rule and tell you that I started with a photo of a rose, somewhat crumpled and dry, but still showing its character. David

Or more prosaically, new color variations for old pix. David

Previously, I have used the image number for a title. Simple, and non-judgmental. But there are dozens of variations in my processing workflow, which means multiple images from a single image file. Here's one of many that I got out of image 2141 David

"Only those who will risk going too far cam possibly find out how far one can go" T.S Eliot As usual, this is a single image where I have manipulated the colors. Then I 'sliced and diced' the image to have 2 lines of symmetry. Maybe that's too many? David

I learned a new word today. (It's the title) Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. (per Wikipedia) No matter which of my abstracts I choose...

Again, a single image, processed with my 'Hidden Colors' technique and then mirrored. As you can see here, even a phone camera can do this (but there were some odd sharpening artifacts that the phone processing produced.) David

Maybe I should have realized this long ago, but flipping an abstract image and then attaching it to the original provides many areas of interest (since people and animals have bilateral symmetry). This 'Hidden Colors' image had lots of fine detail, but nothing really interesting to focus on...

This image had a marked left-to-right asymmetry. But one of the halves didn't appeal to me. So I made a copy, flipped it left-to-right, and blended them. The results, IMO, are amazing. What do you think? David

Reminder - this is a single image, with the colors modified. I don't choose the colors, they are what comes out of the process I use. Going through the batch of 2-300 potential 'Hidden Color' images I took on my last trip, I've identified what needs to be in the scene to get some blue/purple...

I was walking the beach and noticed this shell. This is the inside, so you're looking at a concave surface. It was different from all the other shells because it had this intricate pattern on the inside surface. So I got out my 'sea life' guide, and I think it is a Green False Tinkle. (What a...

The original version of this image (actually a pano) sat on my hard drive for 10 years or so. The problem was, by the time the clouds had achieved this color, the light was off the foreground. I tried brightening it up, but it very quickly started looking fake. So it sat. Recently I got to...

After the bright objects are captured, there are a whole lot of dimmer ones to attempt. For me, it's been a struggle, esp. from my Bortle 5-6 backyard. Case in point, the Heart and Soul Nebulae. 114 subs of 30 sec, Nikon D5600a, 85 mm. Includes the Double Cluster on the right: Another, same...

Hi, all- I'd like to get some feedback on my 'Hidden Color' series. These are all single images of a natural scene (no man-made objects) where I make global adjustments to color, etc to get a result that is pleasing to me. I've developed a process somewhat akin to taking the mathematical...
