Lichen Mirrored
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:37:45 pm »

Now for something completely different..

The image is a 280mm macro shot of some very tiny strands of lichen I found growing on a rock. About a week later it was raining hard and all the decorating and painting having already been completed, I had some time on my hands, so not wanting to go out and get wet, I decided to work on the image and then for some reason I mirrored it and ended up with a very highly detailed abstract sort of thingy, that is most interesting and pleasing to look at, is over four foot long, but is of no use what so ever...

I think it looks pretty cool. I took the liberty of doing a B&W conversion and I like that even more.
