Indigo by olivetreeann

Indigo

I was going to attempt to find a different shot for the indigo portion of my rainbow, but decided this shot was too funky not to post! It was taken along with yesterday's H20 and Blue shots, but because of the angle and lighting, I think it looks like an eye!
It really does look like an eye, great shot, lovely colour and patterning:)

It does look like an eye--really neat photo! In thumbnail view, I thought it might be spooky enough for Halloween, but it's too pretty.... More like a window to the soul.

Your right. and a huge eye that is. your thumnail is looking great.
just to let you know I was too tired yesterday to continue my church series but I posted 5 new pictures just now..in some I included the link of the orgional collage of June 28, 2010 which has the best pictures of the all.

Ooh these are just beautiful - I have worked out that I want to see that effect painted on some of my coloured glass with the light shining through!!

@henrir Thank you Henri!
@filsie65 Thank you Phil! You are welcome to copy this or try to repeat my process- I used a large clear pyrex mixing bowl and filled it about 2/3 of the way with water, and then added blue food coloring. As the food coloring was dispersing into the water, I just kept shooting from all different angles. This one is looking straight down into the bowl. The dark center is the bulk of the food coloring. In post processing, I put the shot in b/w, and then painted the original back in only where the food coloring was (and believe me, some of those little tendrils were tricky!!). I then put a matt border with an indigo tint around the edge and finally added the frame. You're right this would look really pretty with light coming through it.

Very cool shot. At first, I did think this was an eye. Then, I realized it wasn't.
October 6th, 2012  
@daisy Thanks Kathryn! The funny thing is that when I took the shot, I didn't look at it that way- I was focused on the indigo center. When I uploaded I couldn't believe my "eye"!

Nice spiral in there - always a good thing.

wonderful indigo colours. to me, however, it looks a jar on its side underwater where a squid and an octopus are hiding. :-)

Brilliant abstract, love the colour

@wenbow Thanks Wendy! It's sort of a variation on some shots I've seen on here. I don't have a camera that can do the studio type shot, so I improvised with this. I like the way it came out too, although I wasn't sure what I was going to get!

I thought it was a processed eye, too. Fabulous!
