Curmudgeon forgot what he did....
This photo evolved and was not a "here is what I am going to do" plan of action. Ask a painter what did you do and why... the answer will be rational words, but the reality is hidden deep in the mind... an alter ego painted and here an alter ego evolved this end photo.

That’s what happens when you start digging in Ps! Provided you end up with something you like it’s a great way to go - and if you don’t like it you can dump it and move on to the next creation. Here you’ve ended up with something rather attractive.

Isn't that the way it should be... Canned recipes can be boring after a while... I commented to " William " one time... Just let it flow. My prob. is it usually flows into over processing and LOTS of noise. BTW, I luv the rendering.

All of my abstracts are like that. If you plan an abstract is it really an abstract? Very few see the light of day most only see the Recycle Bin

Thank you. Sometimes it's fun when you don't have to worry about preserving a subject.

Thanks MrBob. Abstracts, free forms and other whims of fancy, unlike birds, bees etc., have no reason to exist except you decided they should

I studied this for awhile and can not figure out how the final results happened. But I do like the results.

It's a beautiful example of photo stew! A bit of this and a bit of that all combined and seasoned to perfection. Fun work.

Thanks for looking Carol. "Photo stew" I'm going to remember that term.
