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

I like it! But, as you said, artifacts from stretching are hard to get rid of (I tried). David

Is that good or bad'?

Thanks Jim. The 'kaleidoscope' type images I've been doing are infinitely varied and I can make dozens of unique variations from a single image, but they are in some sense all alike. An image like this is, as you said, a whole scene. In this case, as in most of my pre-kaleidoscope images, it is...

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

It amazes me too.:)

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

Yeah, that ying and yang feeling is why I thought it was ok. Thanks

"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 see Angela Davis

OK, I'll stop saying what I see. 😒 It's best that everybody 'sees what they want to see'. BTW, I see more faces.

I see 2. The upper one looks like a cat with red eyes and an open mouth. Below that in the center, an animal -dog?- with a long muzzle

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...

I should have been clearer. The issue with the phone's image was excessive edge sharpening, which I moderated with some judicious low-pass filtering. So any artefacts are not very visible here. The main argument against an iPhone image is that there are only 12 mpx to work with, so a big print...

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...

That's a very nice image Jim. David

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

Colors only.

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...
