If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

Excellent B&W image!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Has a ying and a yang look to it. Very nice processing.

 

[AlanLichty]

Most excellent - nicely seen.

I really like this but I had a funny thought while looking it, an old man with lots of hair in his ear.

Ben that made me giggle!

Seriously though Amy, this is really a beautiful image. Very well seen, and for me a really awesome abstract. I love it!

Lol....that's too funny Ben. Never crossed my mind, but once it said it I can totally see it.

Thank you very much....yes I love the geometry and texture.

I was thinking it was a horses ear at first with a lot of hair... maybe an older horse?

Awesome work here Amy, I sure love this composition and look. It really takes a moment for the mind to get itself wrapped around what it is seeing.

Thank Jim, I really enjoy how everyone sees something a little different. I loved this shot before I even took it, and knew instantly what I was to do with it (that doesn't happen too often with me).

I'm with Jim, based on your work I first thought it was a very cold horse ear, then I figured out the grass, but it still took a bit to understand the water. Great shot and B&W treatment. Is it IR?

Yes, majority of my BNW's start with an IR image, I get more contrast in whites vs blacks that way. The water was darkened down to give it more of an abstract look and simplify the scene.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

That is a very cool abstract look!

I looked. Got looked at. Nice BW!
