When the bottom falls out of the universe...

I started playing with colour efex and things got a leeeeetle out of control... I'm kind of in love with the result, but I am not sure I can really take credit for it...

For the weekly puddle theme... and etsooi weather as the puddle was caused by a ferocious rain storm...

PS - it's either better, or ghastlier, when viewed large... just sayin' ;p

A rather noir-ish mess in my other album...

[Talea]

I love that you flipped it!!! I think J.dMuli's "Fierce" about covers it! Thank you for your comment, I'm hoping there's a way to manage without it getting crazy too.

[summerfield]

are you sure that's a puddle and not a lake? that's too big for a puddle :-P in any case, the etsooi turned out great. i rather like it.

[☠northy]

@summerfield it's a funny effect of puddles when you set the camera (VERY CAREFULLY) on the ground... the whole world can open up inside a body of water a foot across!

[Lisa A Wood]

you really have me guessing on this one??? looked at it in large view and noticed the top portion has a reflection of clouds on the brick and the lines are soft and blurred however, on the bottom portion of the puddle is where you find all the details of the brick, metal etc. clean lines. very cleaver in your thinking! very interesting and def. a fav!

[Lisa A Wood]

ok i just noticed i said cleaver inside of clever ...bahahah ... :)
