This is a twofer - both for the Dogwood 52 week challenge where the challenge is: Inspiration: Black and White
Your inspiration this week is to simply take an amazing Black and White photograph of any subject you want.

And for this week's Get Pushed 338, where I am partnered with @30pics4jackiesdiamond - whose challenge was:
We are partnered for get pushed this week. How do you feel like a double edged challenge? Choose one of your more recent favs and recreate it BUT with a twist - using the style of one of people you follow. Give a link to the shot you are recreating and the @name of your 'stylist'
So this is an attempt at a droste watch, because I've always wanted to try this and last time everyone was having a go it was with programmes I couldn't get to work. It's inspired by @salza'sdroste effect portrait and because @northy has been using a vortoscope, I was channeling both her anarchic takes on challenges, use of b&W and the vortoscope.
Three good things:
1. the colds are going and more energy all round
2. I got out on one of my favourite walks and had another shot to play with that I dithered about putting up;
3. red Thai curry for supper from a very cheap paste I found on the reduced shelf was really nice.
ok - now this is cool! i love how it totally sucks you in... i have same question for you that i had for @salza... did you use an action for this? or just fiddle in gimp or photoshop? either way - really well done!
This is really cool. I like that the point of infinity is offset and not centrally sited. I'm also interested in knowing whether you had an action to create this. Or was it all manually done by you?
@salza@northy yes, all done in GIMP, with resizing layers and rotating them too. It's not quite right and I might have another go to get what I wanted - this sort of image is what was being done the last time this came around, but using GIMP and MathMap, and I could never get MathMap to work.
Oh my, that is just fantastic!! And to be inspired by Sally and \northy and nail BOTH their styles, but in your own way. Geniously genius and must have take you ages to do, Favetty fav.
