I am not the least bit confused by these two beautiful images. The colors and textures alone justify your time and effort. I am happy they found daylight in this section.
Thank you for the Wordsworth words.

... have you still got the cage keys amply squirreled out of sight?

Sometimes it possible to step outside one's limits and create an image that is almost unworldly. You have accomplished this with the first image. Surely it will find a place on your wall.

Teh strange part is, noble Curmudgeon, is that none of what I posted is outside anyone's limits. Well, noone who isn't an unworldly squirrel, anyhow.

Quite nice Jim. I have not yet reached your level of PP work!

Thanks, Don.

That said, shall I tell you the tale of the blind squirrel who NEVER found an acorn? It's a time-worn tale of terror --and not to ruin the tail's denouement, the tail becomes a 'part' as a result of a hongry coyote-- told 'round the campfires here in Ootah. It's told partly to keep the kiddos in line, and partly because nobody in Ootah has a furnace or a heater or anything much more than a campfire to keep themselves warm at night. And if you wake up in the middle of a cold winter's night and gotta PP, you DO NOT want any squirrels underfoot.

I love them to pieces 🥇


How many pieces, Joe?

Care for a piece right now? I'd be glad to send you a leftover piece of squirrel tail. Makes for a GREAT squirrel tail soup if you have a good recipe.

I like your colors and textures in both images. Composing can't be easy and I applaud your shooting and processing using this type of method. Hope to see more of your work.


Thanx, NikonGal. But no, no more of this sort of stuff from me. Only squirrels. Many squirrels. Many confused squirrels. Day after day after day after...........

*Production Assistant* holds up APPLAUD NOW sign. Squirrels scatter. Smelly 'squirrel texture' is left underfoot in their panic and haste.

The first appeals to me tremendously.

Welcome (back) to Digital Artistry, Jim. Didn't know Admin would move a topic from one volunteer-managed section to another volunteer-managed section without the second volunteer agreeing to the exchange All good; you're welcome here anytime!

thankewthankewthankew, Linda. Ok if I post some.... er.... spicey shots of squirrels??? Or will somebody demand they get put in the 'Nekkid Squirrel/Boudoir' sub-section of Hog-d'-vilia?

One has to be ever vigilant, don'tcha know.

The first is well worthy of being immortalized.

I really like both. Guess I would slightly prefer the second. Well done.

Edit: After a second and third look I might actually prefer no. 1. I really like the colors.

Two images, the first shot and processed yesterday, the second shot and processed today. I was not especially pleased with yesterday's attempt --due mainly to difficulties in composition--, so today I set off to try to rectify that. What resulted better conforms to how I view and attempt to utilize composition, but it's still not quite what I want.

Both are multi-image conglomerations made of stacks of layers with variously reduced opacity levels with each layer utilizing diverse blending modes. Aspects of these were 'inspired' by the Pep Ventosa manner of circling a subject and shooting from multi-angles, other aspects were 'inspired' by other photographers/photographic artists who shoot multiple images from different angles then stack and blend accordingly. Still further aspects of these are hopefully my own, while I seek to find the changeability of permanence in impermanence.

Why the title? It's from William Wordsworth. I chose it because Wordsworth wrote that, for him, writing was a matter of 'memory reflected in tranquility'. Which is essentially much the same as how I view the processing of an image.
