It's (or should I say "She") is wild.

Newtune's wavy girlfriend?

Like these kinds of things. You see them all around, but only when someone photographs them and brings them to the attention of your nose do you actually get to think about them, appreciate the many things that life offers if you but look.

Photography is a great tool for doing that.

Nice!

Agreed, Rob.   Looking is not the same as seeing.

I have to be honest, when I first saw this image, I saw it as an abstract. When I studied it closer, I realized it may be a bust with breasts. But going with my initial thoughts, I still think it's chief merit is an abstract that evokes thoughts of the sea.

Thanks, John. I'm glad I drew you in. Don't show me the bust/breasts; if you do, I'll never be able to see anything else!  ;D

Do I dare go back and revisit all of John's great images? What might I see in them now, if I do?    ;D
