Ready to Be of Service

I happened to notice the spoon rest on our cooktop reflected in the light and thought it worth 'doing something' with it. After a lot of processing so I have no idea what I did at this point, this is the result. I used LR, SnapArt, ColorEfex, and SilverEfex, and then LR again.

The process may be confusing but the resulting image is super.

Great result. I like such surprises.

[Diana]

Great image and processing.

[Beryl Lloyd]

[KoalaGardens🐨]

haha I often play and end up with no idea what I did

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Well you got a very nice effect from all of that. Good job. I love the lighting on it.

[Kathy A]

This is very interesting, great abstract

[Walks @ 7]

This is simply so stunning. Fav!

[Babs]

You have made something so mundane look really interesting. Nice editing.

[Pam Knowler]

I thought it was a ship at sea at first! Lol! Love your processing!

[Elizabeth]

Wonderful result! Looks like a charcoal drawing.

[Jane Pittenger]

Like the texture that makes it look as if it was painted

[Harry J Benson]

[Lynda McG]

Fav!

[Issi Bannerman]

Mmm. That works. Very nice.

[Rob Z]

It makes a wonderful abstract - with a beautiful pewter texture. :)

[Casablanca]

Reminds me of a charcoal sketch. Thanks for listing the editing stuff, fascinating. I posted a before and after today just for fun. It's amazing what you can do with editing.

[Angela]

Well spotted. This project does make us look at things differently!

[Domenico Dodaro]

It is very cool! Looks like an old art book reproduction of some Flemish Master’s painting

[KWind]

An interesting abstract!!

[Fisher Family]

A super effect, well worth the effort!

A super edit, lovely shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very nice- it looks both like an Impressionist painting meets a natural still life meets a classic black and white shot. I've had a lot of those times when by the time I'm happy with the processing I have no idea what I did to get it!

[Junko Y]

You've made a painting!

[Helen Jane]

this is the trouble with editing for fun and then when you end up with something you like, you have absolutely no idea how you got there. I like the use of the different shades of grey here, with the extremes reserved for the spoon.

[Wendy]

Very nice. It has that painterly look I like so much.
Love the editing and congrats on getting short-listed for the challenge!

[Jocasta]

I absolutely love this - fabulous editing - FAV
