Tai Chi (photo art)
This guy is doing his morning Tai Chi exercises. I think this move is called "the crane." :biggrin:

I have been messing with this long enough for it to be beyond my ability to judge if there is something here or just a mess.

What is your gut reaction?

Thanks.

This is an avain image you don't see every day. An interesting effect; the processing seems to create a 3D effect with the blues looking liquid and the blacks just jumping off the page.

Lon, this isn't my cup of tea but take that with a grain of salt, I'm pretty traditional most times (which isn't always a good thing either). :wink:

Not really my cup of tea either Lon, but that isn't what is important. If you enjoy it and had fun making it than more power to you. I say great image. Last night I spent a good couple of hours putting images through a program that makes your images look like they were taken with a polaroid. That is probably not something that everyone will like, but I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun with it.

Thanks for the reactions, guys. I think it is simply "the mess." Sometimes one can get lost in the process and lose sight of the end result... :biggrin:

Wow, looks metallic. Caught my eye. This might work well in a contemporary fine art gallery.
