I like it Larry. Those type images are easy to overdo. IMO you stopped right where you should have.

I agree with Jack!

A very attractive image - but as I’ve no idea how you did it I can’t comment on how far to go. It looks like you probably got it right though!

We are all in this section a bit Schizo... images like this must accommodate our "Apophenia... human tendency to see patterns and meaning in random information." The term was coined in 1958 by German neurologist Klaus Conrad, who was studying the “unmotivated seeing of connections” in patients with schizophrenia.

With no other changes, I rotated your image 90* and my Apophenia is satisfied. Title... "LEAPING DOG"
Do the rest of you nuts see a leaping dog?

Love the TAIL! It identifies the dog beautifully! Great abstract!

dpullum Loc: Tampa Florida

Hum, seeing the tail and your wonderful way out abstracts ... aaaa well, and you guessed it the dogs name by iFox who is himself quite foxy ... the dog name he told us in the title is "Trixie"

Foxy iFox was Trixing us when he ask..."Be sure to let me know all that I should have done." Obviously rotate 90*.. I am thinking since I came up with the solution to his puzzle first, so perhaps, I am perhaps more Psycho than the rest, only followed by a close second who out of the corner f her eye sees the tail. veralisa.

I wounder, does she see the tail wagging?.. if so she possessed, but that's good
If possessed as the Baptist Minister would diagnose and suggest exorcism now on Black Friday sale at 50% off.
I think she only has oscillopsia an illusion of an unstable visual world, creative muscle imbalance, exercises fix.

I see that tail-end of a bird who is propositioning a traditional Freudian psychiatrist who is holding a stack of Rorschach cards. Isn't it obvious

Pass the meds we all have a problem.

I don’t have any suggestions on how to change this. But for me it looks like a cow with its head pointed to the ground.

Your Trixie is a lean and fit working dog, tail erect, alert to your next command - probably involving cattle roundup. She's standing in a pile of early snow, under a tree that hasn't yet lost its leaves.

One tree branch is obscurring her eyes from us, but she can still see you.

My beloved Trixie would have approved

Odds bodkins,** revelation and confession~! This morning going back to the "as presented" image, I now clearly see a dog or cat standing flat, with its face on the left and the strong hind legs on the right of the photo. When I looked at first and during this discussion my eye/mind only saw the image with the head on the right and not until I rotated was my Apophenia is satisfied seeing a leaping dog. Amazing how in an abstract people may see different things and perhaps nothing.

I am a bit compulsive with the left/right orientation image read. If I took a photo of a show dog with the head on the left, I would automatically do a horizontal flip to make it of a photo of a dog looking to the future.

That left/right "rule" forced me to not see the as-presented image correctly. I apologetically confess to all, especially myself~!

** Middle Ages as a term for many small sharp implements: bodkin point, in this case a sharp realization.

Sitting sipping my coffee, I reflected "Why am I left/tight compulsive? Yes, in the western cultures we write sentences from left to right. Another compelling reason, with my process engineering background, the start of a production line is on the left and the final product exits on the right. Logic flow diagrams are the same. We in our western culture live in a Left to Right oriented world.

The "bodkin-reference" is also a reflection of my Tech-Writing training, references to phrases or equations are explained or cited. There is a left-brain right-brain battle, as with my missing Trixie's orientation, but many times my artistic-brain/tech-brains cooperated. This cooperation was a strong factor in my successful tech life in industry, art was creativity, creativity was a problem solving skill leading to my success.

As with Dr. Frankenstein's monster, I am made of many individuals, and to our collective advantage, we know each-other and we work together to problem solve the old, and to make the creative new.

The first thing I saw was a dog. It popped off the screen. I have no idea what my diagnosis is.

cbtsam Loc: Monkton, MD

At first, I saw a dog without a head, largely due to the hint of the name, Trixie. On second viewing, I see the head, but, as Linda noted, not the eyes. About going too far, perhaps including some indication of the eyes would have helped this old coot. [Diagnosis: pretty nutty.]
