Playing with Processing When All Inspiration Fails

I've been wrapping presents, getting toys down from the attic and baby-proofing the house today in anticipation of the arrival of Leigh, Sam, Lucy and their parents on Monday. I'd thought about taking a picture or two but just didn't get around to it, so, instead you get an over the top and over processed shot of Jeff. Yes, he's in there (and he's totally hidden so don't fry your eyes looking for him!) , but you'd never know it with all that processing! I was tempted to say I'd been playing with oil and water, but it's better to be truthful and confess I had no creative spark today and took the easy way out- crazy processing!

Such fun shots -- great processing as it is hard to believe there's a person in there!

[Kerri]

Great colors

[Timothy]

awesome

[Sally Ings]

Makes a wonderful abstract, so much to look at

Good idea, and it turned out quite nice

[Terry]

very nice processing

[Bev]

Great image, Ann! Love the processing. Very abstract! You can't even tell it started out as a person! Well done :)

[Dakotaburns]

I like the results -- very sci-fi looking.

[Katie]

Super funky! I like the blue dot things.

[Sharon]

Made a cool abstract!

[Carole Imes]

It turned out to be a really cool abstract and if it were a painting at an art show it would probably bring in thousands of $$$. :-)

[Kathryn Marshall]

Wonderfful abstract. I think this is art gallery worthy.

[Hope D Jennings]

It looks actually quite beautiful. what does Jeff think?

[MaryBeth Dailey]

This is attractive and you should tag it ETSOOI-26. We cannot even see the original in there at all, but it made a great photo of something new!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni Thank you Bruni! He saw the original and laughed when I told him I would post it as is. I don't think I've shown him the edited version. hehe
@espyetta Thank you Marybeth! Tag added! Actually you can see the original IF you know what the original looked like. But I'm not telling (o;

@alia_801 @prttblues
Did I thank you for those favs? If I didn't, I am now!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@olivetreeann I see an upside down mouth in the light blue in upper left corner and some sweat shirt arm on the right? No? Yes? Maybe?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@espyetta LOL the easiest thing to tell you is that the blue is his arm (and yes in a sweatshirt) but you have to imagine a kooky face in the lower left with hair flying upward and a crazy arm flung toward the ceiling. He was making faces at me! So, you can't see his face here (it's covered in black and those pointing parts are his hair), but you can see his arm.

@cassiejoy Thanks for the fav Cassie!
