locked away in the enchanted forest

(or something like that ;p)

happy new year all!

for the five plus two "locked up" theme (can ya even see me???)

and also for etsooi-60
http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/26876/etsooi-60-starts-monday
this is a combo of a couple ICM tree shots, and involved a bunch of cutting and pasting, several duplicated layers and blending styles... and then a shot of me... blurred and faded and buried behind the trees... (tree shot is from dec 31, me shot is from jan 1... just felt a need to sleep on this before posting)

and the grey colours or more challenge (just to round things out ;p)

Creative and very abstract. Thanks for the reminders about all the different challenges!

Mysterious image - it makes me think of a someone hiding behind long, straight hair.

[Richard Sayer]

I thought you would have started the new year by doing something creative ;-)) You get my Fav anyway!

[Ingrid Budge]

Oh that's very cool - it took me a while to see you - has a very claustrophobic feel - love all the work that's gone into this

[Monique Nadeau]

Wonderful processing! And you're so well-hidden...but I found you!

[Richard Tyson]

Wow not sure what I'm looking at yet but it's a superb image!

Excellent, great processing - spending time looking for...which is in itself a bit of a worry

The Ghost of New Year's past, present or future? Very cool!
