Born of Frustration

Rain all day, another cricket match cancelled, another one unlikely to go ahead tomorrow night as more rain is forecast.

Yes, this is a photograph, though I admit to some manipulation!

It is August, though it feels like November.

Also one hell of a song from James, one of the best live bands ever.

Not another mad James fan! You'd get on well with my husband - actually I've seen them quite a few times too over the years! Got me singing this song now as well!

[Jennie Cole]

This is very different for you, but I really like it. A nice piece of modern art to hang on a wall.

[Sean O'Neill]

@lauralatham I love them Laura, had some mad nights out drinking too much Red Stripe and jumping up and down to James like a teenager!! You will be singing it for days now.
...lalalalala,lalalalala,lalalalalalalalalalalala.......

[Sean O'Neill]

@esolvideosuk I know, my way of shouting Aaaaargh!!!!

[Hubregt Visser]

Very different but also very appealing.

[Danny G.]

Great abstract, Sean!

[Fanny Brogden]

Just 'some' manipulation.....never!!! rather fun reminds me of the Italian clothes designer whose name eludes me!!! Great song though!!!

[Pat Knowles]

Missoni Fanny & you are right it does look like that distinctive fabric.

[8yearson]

I think this is called ETTSOII isn't it? Cool photo and effect Sean... yes the cricket season has been a complete washout hasn't it!

[Fanny Brogden]

well done Pat yes!! Missoni!! Sorry to interrupt Sean!! :))

[Andreas]

Really cool Sean.

[Sean O'Neill]

@esolvideosuk @primitiveprobe @fannyb @jackie8 @happypat @soboy5 @hjv Thanks everyone. The original shot was a piece of stripy wrapping paper put through the distort/wave filter in CS5. 5 mins to take and process to ETSOOI!

[Myrna O'Hara]

This reminds me of somebody's ceramic project gone haywire. I actually really like this. Would make an awesome canvas printed shot.

[Reva]

A pleasing colourful image, well done! Frustration is certainly one of the mothers of invention. :op

[Andrew Sutherland]

And this is my favourite song from James! Have never seen them live, though. I don't think they have ever toured here.

[Sean O'Neill]

@sailingmusic @reva @asutherland1964 Thanks one and all.

[Ellen Young]

Oh Sean i can feel your frustration through this shot!! I am sorry the weather is ruining your chance to compete! Hang in there! Hope tomorrow is a sunny day afterall! :)

[Janelle]

Sorry to hear about the weather. These are cool colours. Like something of a 70's print dress.

[Ann Jones]

Sean, this is fantastic! Whatever you did, I'd say it worked, a great result! Fav

[Sean O'Neill]

@stuckinoz @ellimae @rhos Thank you all, today's match is cancelled too!! Thanks for the Fav Ann, always appreciated.

[Lyn]

Wow. this is just so cool, Sean . .so sorry about your weather, especially since we're suffering such an awful drought. I wish I knew what led to this. . .would you consider showing us the unedited version?

[Linda Lorraine]

LOVE the result of your frustration!

[ShanneW]

lol amazing colours and processing - really shows frustration - and wasn't it cold and miserable
