Bones 2

I posted the original image in the Macro gallery a couple of days ago. This is a pile of mammal bones in an old barn. I used one of the new settings in the Fractalius filter plus dodge/burn to create this image.

I have to say, I like the large image better. Having said that, it doesn't really stir me. The old bone is good, but there is a lot of amorphous stuff that is almost monotone that could stand some work.

I like how the lighting emphasizes the vertebrae. The filter really makes this feel like an old illustration for a medical manual.

I really love the mystery in this. Can recognize the bone, and then my imagine starts going.
