Decisions, decisions

I have been playing with my $2 black and white wrapping paper again, only this time I used a clear glass paperweight to make the patterns. I couldn't decide which one I liked the best, so have put it together in a diptych. The difference in the pattern on the paperweight depended on where I held the camera.

I think I prefer the one on the left, but David preferred the one on the right. What do you think?

I think I will give this type of photography a miss for a while now as it makes you go cross eyed!!!

Posting early today as I have got a busy afternoon and evening ahead.

I like the one on the right better, but do like both!

[Annie D]

can't decide - i like both

[j]

cool pic, both are great but for me, the one on the right is my fave

[Marnie]

I prefer the one on the right. But they're both clever and imaginative.

[Gena Pegg]

It is so cool what you have been able to do with this paper! I really both images but agree with you that I like the one on the left a smidgen more!! Great optical illusions!

[Deb]

Im with you. I like the one on the left.

[Yao RL]

I like the one on the right too, It got to be viewed large and the pattern changes around the peripheral of the ball just add more dimensions. It could be displayed in Tate Modern!

[Corne]

Love this. The one on the left has a zen feeling to it lol

[Sharon Simpson]

Fantastic, Babs! The one on the right reminds me more of a zebra and the one on the left is the zebra's tail! Think I lived in South Africa too long!!!!! Your creativity has certainly been on the increase since finishing your year!

[Angela Tavan]

Both great shots - they make an interesting combination! Love the wavy lines and the shapes and contrasts.

[Rachel]

How creative. They make really strong images. I would be happy to have those framed on display.

[Ian Watts]

These are ace and work so well together - if pushed I would say the one on the right, but it is a close thing. Certainly a FAV.

[Heather Colgate]

Very clever Babs, I prefer the one on the right, but both good.

[Boo]

i like the one on the right..looks like a marble!

[Sharon]

Very creative. Fav

[sally agnew]

Very cLever but it plays havoc with my eyes :-)

[Rachel]

This is so creative. I think I like the right one better, but I still like the left one too. Such a good idea!

[Heidi Parnell]

this is so effective! I think wrapping paper is a great prop - I think the one on the right does it for me but they are both really good!

[Gayanne Campbell]

Very creative, I like them both! fav

[Derek Vickers]

Sent my eyes funny trying to decide which one I liked most. A fav from me Babs.

[Babs]

@derekvickers thanks Derek. Sent my eyes funny taking it toi. Thanks for the fav.

[Lee]

Great patterns, very creative idea Babs.

[Debbie]

[mabuss]

Love these abstracts!

[Angela]

I see what you mean- both great but so different.

[Alice Burghart]

Great shots.

[Paula W]

Sorry I've been a bit hit and miss with my comments lately Babs and only just catching up with your pics. I thought I liked the one on the right better but now I've changed my mind!! Both are great and yes they do set the eyes off a bit.

[Babs]

@paulaw I've not caught up either till tonight, only got back from 3 days in Canberra earlier this evening. Will catch up tomorrow, off to bed now!! Been a very busy few days. Had a great time though.

[Babs]

@gamelee @debilz @mabuss @libertylady @libertylady Sorry for group reply, but it is late now and we only got back from a few days in Canberra a couple of hours ago. Will catch up in the next couple of days. This one sent my eyes crossed too.

[Raye]

both are awesome, I like the one on the right best! love the explorations.

[Babs]

@sunraye Thanks Raye. I think I will give stripes a miss for a while. I am cross eyed now.

[Andy Roe]

Terrific shot - I like it just as you have posted it - with your explanation of how you took it you have opened up the whole idea of experimenting!
It reminds me of the work of the artist Bridget Riley.

[Babs]

@andyr Never thought of Bridget Riley, I suppose it is a bit Op Art. I was a teenager in the 60's so well into Op Art, Mary Quant and all that. Dating myself now.
