The Texture of Work 2

Me March- Something I like to do at work. Well, I don't have a job, so I took an abstract of something I consider to be work!

Mull Over March Word- texture (Could be "Take a Guess- what is it?") Any ideas? (o:

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Lisa Stein]

Such cool lines! Love the high key effect.

[Jocasta]

Don't know what it is but love the photo

[Siw Aina Stromoy]

Nice :)

[Diane]

Very cool abstract. I'm not good at the guess-what-this-is photos, but I'll take a shot. A vacuum cleaner?

[8yearson]

If this is a vacuum cleaner it's a brilliant interpretation of it, the high key works so well!

[Henri Russell]

Very neat texture.

[Colleen]

Nice processing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kerristephens @pflaume @jocasta @siwainastromoy @eudora @jackie8 @henrir @httpgeffed

Thank you Kerri, Lisa, Jo, Siw, Diane, Jackie, Henri and Colleen! This was a fun one to play with. I promise to tag you all tomorrow and let you know what it is.

[Taffy]

Curious -- such a neat abstract and I have no clue how you did this!

[Cathy Donohoue]

I really don't have a clue. But it is a cool shot.

[Laraine Kensicki]

reminds me of a typewriter (knowing you work hard at that). very cerebral shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@taffy @cdonohoue @eniaral

Thank you Taffy, Cathy and Laraine! I'll be tagging everyone tomorrow to let you know.

[Mrs. Smith]

My first thought was....a baseball.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@mrssmith Thanks Carla! I'll tag everyone tomorrow and reveal the answer then.

[Huda Morcos]

such a neat high key effect!

[Bev]

Very cool shot. I am thinking the dial on an oven... But more than likely I'm wrong... either way, this is a great abstract! Well done, Ann! :)

[Tanja Carda]

Fantastic shot Ann, great processing. Hmmm if I would have to guess I would say a hose from a vacuum!

[alia_801]

Every time i think I've worked out what it is, I look again and it isn't that... Cool mystery shot! :)

[Dione Giorgio]

My wife never had a job but don't tell her she doesn't work. and I agree. With the things she does at home she amazes me and the house is always so nice and clean. Cool abstract shot.

[Carole Imes]

I'm totally clueless. Will check back for an answer...cannot even imagine---all I see is what looks to be an eyelash.

[Laura]

I think it looks like the pipe from a hoover. It is a great shot.

[Rick Schies]

It looks like a cover of some kind, perhaps a fire or smoke detector

[Smitha]

I see a flame from a cooking range , I also see a sewing work..great challenge for our imagination. Very cool shot!!

[Nicole Campbell]

I think it might be a whisk?

@hudamor @prttblues @tanja_1211 @alia_801 @sangwann @cimes1 @la_photographic @digitalrn @smithak @nicolecampbell

Thank you Huda, Bev, Tanja, Alia, Dione, Carole, Laura, Rick, Smitha, and Nicole!

It's always surprising to me what a little processing can do to the mundane things in life!

@kerristephens @pflaume @siwainastromoy @jocasta @eudora @jackie8 @henrir @httpgeffed @taffy @cdonohoue @eniaral @mrssmith


So, drum roll please... yes, it's a vacuum cleaner hose! And the two bars at the top are the clasp that holds the cord and plug in place. I'm not quite sure how they disappeared and the clasp remained but there are several b/w processing steps piled on top of one another that probably eliminated them somehow. It all started when I put the original shot in "sketch" mode and then inverted it.

[David Shimmings]

A great puzzle - and immediately obvious when you know the answer!
Thank you Ann.

[Sarah J.]

Very fun and creative. Thanks for letting us know how you did it.

[Jennifer]

Ooh fab!! Would never have guessed it but love the pic!

[Taffy]

Soooo creative!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@andrewrome365 @sgiesman @taffy

Thanks to all! Glad you enjoyed it!

[summerfield]

sheez! i was going to guess 'colander' but tag it EOTB4 for the 'eye of the beholder' that MB is hosting this week.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- I'll do that but this is so over-processed I'm not sure it qualifies.

[Vickie Posey]

Have no idea, very interesting :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@vposey Thanks Vickie- the answer was posted above- it's a vacuum cleaner hose.

[Edie]

Very cool high key shot. I have read now what it is but I thought it was a bathroom scale before getting the answer.

[Nada A.]

Very cool.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@edie @nadaa
Thank you Edie! Thank you Nada!

[Jerri]

oh too cool. i thought it was a colander until i searched through here to find the answer. great abstract! follow too!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@moreyoulessme Wow- that's an interesting interpretation of it- I can totally see how you saw it! Thanks Jerri!

[Wendy Bowden]

Cool abstract

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Thank you Wendy!
