Daniel, this one is really cool. Looking in the upper middle portion of the photograph I see the face of an angry bird flying right at me.

Regards,
John

How did you print this with flipping the image to put two halves together?

The symmetry is cool though.

This double exposure(?) looks very nice. Bert

Daniel: superb image. I saw the angry face, and also thought, "kaleidoscope."

I love to see things done using classic tools that most people think are only possible with Photoshop. I'm guessing you did this using that split darkslide you had up north?

Thanks guys. This is a sandwich of two negatives, one of which is flipped and shifted slightly to create an offset mirror image. Dan, the kaleidoscopic effect and lateral symmetry leads to some cool designs. To me, the blooms were reminiscent of snowflakes in that each one looks unique.

Funny that I didn't see any angry creatures when I was making the print, but my wife's first reaction was that she saw a creepy spider in the middle.

All the best,
Daniel

Very interesting image Daniel.

The 'creepy spider' was the first thing I saw.
