a wrought iron gate, etsooi'd to the max; started out with the gate, cropped the stone wall, converted to black and white, added textures 3 kinds for it to turn this way, applied some other thingamajiggs, to and fro, over and yonder. how abstract can you make it without it looking like a gate and still discernible that it's a gate? confused now? i am, too!
for the abstract gate challenge. now, helen, don't be choosing this as your finalist, i'm just playing.
Ha - isn't the point that I have free choice! Well I think I see some of the flames of hell flaring up behind this gate, so may be I will steer clear after all. It looks as though it may once have been a splendid wrought iron gate.
