The Eye of The Storm by graemestevens

The Eye of The Storm

The rage and restless, destructive energy is bubbling just beneath the surface today, so I thought I'd play with distortion and some rather disturbing effects. I can't decide whether it looks like I'm melting or slowly being swirled away - either way, I quite like the end the result.
Shockingly enough this is best viewed against the black.
crikey... fav! gotta love the dark!

Sad, sad alien creature.....I can just imagine you shackled to a post dug deep into a concrete footing in a cold, damp cellar, far away from all your loved ones, pining away for some compassion and human touch, but afraid of who might be coming down those concrete stairs into the dungeon! What could you have done to deserve this?!
August 9th, 2014  
ya look maniacal...just sayin'
August 9th, 2014  
@northy Thanks very much :)
@voiceprintz I am just maniacal ;)
@panthora Crumbs...hadn't looked at it that way, but now that you mention it...I think it all started when I got out of bed... :)

Think you need to take up the ciggies again Graeme. Very cool and somewhat evil image :-)
August 9th, 2014  
Really scary !
August 9th, 2014  
@hermann Thanks very much...and I'm still off them!
August 9th, 2014  
Looks like they caught up with you Graeme. They're feeding that destructive side. Swirling you away is just the beginning, those rays are dangerous
August 9th, 2014  
@cocobella Excellemt! Thanks!
@ceilidh You may well be right, I knew I should have stayed away!
August 9th, 2014  
To me, it kind of looks like the eye of a werewolf.......
August 9th, 2014  
Dark and eerie...nicely done.
August 9th, 2014  
Wow....almost owl-esque....fantastic mood/feeling.....fav
August 9th, 2014  
@tabarlett There is a full moon....
@taffy Thanks very much. Couldn't be bothered doing much more, just one of those days...
@deak68 Thanks very much indeed...I was only playing really...
August 9th, 2014  
Wow, this is great! Excellent processing here, so fun.

"Every single point within a photo should have crystal clear focus. Not just the key point of interest, but EVERYTHING. All you know about DOF should be disregarded immediately if not sooner." Have you forgotten already?........:-) Nice shot
August 9th, 2014  
I see you are throwing away the " Camera Club Guide to dull Photos" nice one.
August 9th, 2014  
I see a look often seen in puppy dogs that are hungry..... Kim late with your tea?
August 9th, 2014  
I see a very old, wise, tired Owl... whoot...whooot.... :)
August 9th, 2014  
is it just me.. or can anyone else see Garfield in this ?!
August 9th, 2014  
I see one of those cute fluffy creatures from one of the Star Wars movies (but which?) ..
August 9th, 2014  
A little disconcerting , a little like an owl!
August 9th, 2014  
You are right ... it has quit an impact viewed on black! It definitely lingers on one's mind.....
August 9th, 2014  
the absence of nicotine obviously has great effect on you! rather disconcerting !!!
August 9th, 2014  
Love the image
August 9th, 2014  
Sam
I'm not seeing a human being here :)
August 9th, 2014  
One for camera club I think!! You look feathered but that's probably just me!
August 9th, 2014  
@peter_1966 Yes, slipped my mind temporarily - and thanks very much
@chippy1402 Thanks, it was thrown out on the same night :)
@newbank yes, and that's twice this week. I may have to appropriately discipline her ;)
@lisatown Whoot whoot to you too. :)
@brigette LOL. I love lasagne
@dibzgreasley Oh dear lord...
@pusspup Apparently so, but I'll take the disconcerting bit :)
@aecasey Excellent, thanks very much :)
@pinkpaintpot Thanks very much. I think.
@dougapic Thanks, much appreciated
@gigiflower Ah yes, but did you ever? ;)
@wearing0 LOL, quite possibly one for the camera club! They'd love it...

Sam
August 9th, 2014  
looks like the weather has nicely turned for the worse....
August 9th, 2014  
@gigiflower Super!
@tellefella Sooner or later it was bound to happen
August 9th, 2014  
scary image
August 9th, 2014  
scary cool.
August 9th, 2014  
So cool! But I'm not scared...you look like a plaintive werewolf! ;)
August 9th, 2014  
Another cool image
August 9th, 2014  
@shannejw Thanks very much
@blueberry1222 Thanks very much
@mzzhope Thanks - I'm relieved because I wasn't aiming for scary, just inspirationally challenged, bored and playing...
@scolgs Thanks very much
August 9th, 2014  
wow it is the eye of the storm...awesome on the black!
August 10th, 2014  
That eye scares the crap out of me... for real. If the measure of an image is the reaction it provokes in the viewer - this one is off the scale.
August 10th, 2014  
@livvy Thanks very much :)
@vignouse Apparently so, and I wasn't even trying to be scary!
August 10th, 2014  
Crikey, remind me not to push your button! Ripper shot.
August 10th, 2014  
Interesting. I like it. But I don't think it's scary. Are you well?
August 10th, 2014  
Eerie shot!
August 10th, 2014  
@golftragic Thanks very much :)
@lwain Thank you, appreciated
@johenn Hmmm...I wasn't going for scary anyway...and I'm super thanks.
August 10th, 2014  
Oh wow! So creepy! ....Awesome!
August 10th, 2014  
@creativefool Thanks...I wasn't even trying to be creepy!
August 10th, 2014  
Creepy yet cool!
August 10th, 2014  
cool - evil eye I reckon
August 10th, 2014  
@lilminimonka Thanks very much
@annied Thanks...I really wasn't trying for evil or creepy!
August 10th, 2014  
@graemestevens you can't help it - it is a subconscious desire :)
August 11th, 2014  
@annied You're probably quite right
August 11th, 2014  
That, Sir, is a little creepy!
August 12th, 2014  
@tabbycat Really? I wasn't aiming for that, but thanks
August 12th, 2014  
Deeply disturbing!
August 15th, 2014  
@yrhenwr I shall take that a compliment. Not that I was aiming for disturbing - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it is what it is :)
August 15th, 2014  
Cool... and a little scary-looking... :-)
