A most interesting image. It enticed me to study it for quite a while. This would make a very good abstract painting as well. Well done Seth!

Thanks fro your kind words. When I am out with a camera, I am thinking mostly like a photographer, in the instance of making this image and the image of the oranges on the table within it, I spent a lot of time making sure the image on my camera was just what i wanted in photographic terms. But I have found that PhotoShop is a very different process, there I have the freedom to move or recreate my original photographic images in a more painterly direction, Often this is a very intuitive process, because I can pull images from a file that spans forty years. I like that freedom and PhotoShop allows me to work in this direction without spending thousand of hours and dollars to create a single complex image. I spent most of my career with a Mamiya twin lens and black and white film making very carefully composed and processed and printed images. Now those look kind of constipated and stiff to me, but I still like to reach back and integrate one of those into what I'm doing now
