Creepy mic, love it! I think a tighter crop would work better, the bottom of the image is a bit weak IMO. The alien bizzo is anything but though, and it works well for me in B&W! :)

Stubbsy, actually this is a Reverse Gradient Map with an Omni Ball of light thrown in. You are supposed to see past the madness and see this is a beginning of an Alien Life Form. Nunnnnoooooo Nunnnnooooooo. :lol: :lol:

My Images aren't for all but all for One : My Rehab :?

Mic. :wink:

Thanks MCWB, :wink: think of the bottom bit as the Mother Alien with her exposed vertabrae, well this was the stuff going through my grey matter at the time anyway. :lol: :lol:

Mic. :wink:

Glad you like, Stubbsy, I'll send you some red & green ones :lol: :lol:

The Day of the Triffods!! :D
Very nice.

Thanks wendellt, :wink: Hmmmm Stylish, I like that :) I assisted the SB 800 held off to the side with a Omni Light which you will find in PS which made the light look more coming from behind or inside the head of the plant.

Thanks robboh, :wink: see above for explanation of SB 800 & a bit of Omni Light. :wink:

Wait a second, so the light bursting through from behind is done in PS?!!! How on earth did you do that?

And in all seriousness this is a bloody fantastic shot. I love it through and through. Be very proud. Best of any of your work that I've seen, all the elements come together.

Settle dooda, you might be giving him too much encouragement and cause him to OD.

Nice work Mic, I can here the terrified screams of...........IT'S ALIVE!

There may be a market for this pic with the Quit campaign - anti-smoking messages for those non-Aussies.
It reminds me of an X-Ray of a destroyed lung.
(No disrespect to the photog, mic, who has produced an image from left-field again. mic, imagination is a photographer's most important tool, and I think you have a unique imagination.) :D

Left-field? Maybe more like drug induced?

Dooda, Thanks matey mate :wink: I'm glad you really like, I thought it was one of my best when I created it last night, here is the original pic.

Omni is a funny little light, sometimes when you use it it appears fake and on top of the subject you put it on, other times it seems to latch onto something behind and gives the appearance that light is coming from behind the subject.

Thank you Marcus, yes I woke up screaming last night, with an image of you in your silks & heels.

Cheers cricketfan, thanks for seeing my imagination.

Cheers Max, :wink:

Yes Marcus, Stay tuned for more drug induced, Fungi eaten, Inverted weird stuff :wink:

Thanks all for enjoying my little bizzare world.

Mic. :wink:
