Mirror-aculous

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.)

Hard to decide what's intentional and what's an unintended artifact in an abstract image like this. Either way it's a neat result :)

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 might not look as sharp as one from a 24 mpx (or higher) camera.

This is really interesting David. I like the mirror effect here.

I think for as great as our iPhones are today, it's still a teeniee tiny sensor that just isn't good for prints beyond a 4x6" print in my estimation.

I use my iPhone in conjunction with my regular cameras, but I know that there is the limit that I would never print the phone images. They are great for the web, but not print. Though in todays world, web display dominates way over prints anymore. So maybe it's not much of an issue as it used to be?
