Like I said, I just hit "auto smart" button and that is the way it came out- rather punchy and saturated. I could have toned it down and usually do because most of my images are about subtlety.

As I said when you move the camera, you get muting of colours and often colour shifts. I save in jpeg and raw. Seldom ever bother with raw unless I have to. So here are originals jpegs straight out of camera with slight brightening of about 20 points each. The movement subdued and/or altered the greens-aqua colours. I also altered my position for both shots getting more green from the panels with second shot because I moved to where the green panel was:

OK then.  The result isn't the output I would have expected based on my own use of similar techniques, but it doesn't matter - the result is cool.  I guess part of the fun of movements and multi-exposures is that the outcome is a bot of a mystery until you see it! Appreciate the explanation :)

Double exposure of Bugloss (I think?) Unfortunately the exif does not give such information. Lowered shadows and increased contrast to help separate the greens from the purples.

Jim,
One thing about your "weave" pictures that appeals to me is the complete absence of scale. When I begin looking at them, it feels as if I may be looking at a macro closeup of some kind of cloth. Then, after a few seconds, it suddenly feels as if it is really enormous, football stadium size.
I love them!

Steps and stones can break your bones...and these almost did. Though recognizable, I think it looks quite abstract.

Thanks, Eric. That is deliberate. I've stopped telling people what they are and how they're made. Once I do, it seems to be a letdown for the viewer.

Here's another. Imagine looking up in the sky and seeing this:

How about a flower under water? Or those chocolate kisses in wrapper in water with light on it.
