Tribal Voices

The original image is of a Black Eyed Susan just as it is opening. I

will post underneath. The rest of the image is just alternate layers of

the same image, distorted, then sharpened,rotated, and a texture

layer added. I also used Layer Blending Modes.(Thanks for dropping

by, sincerely, Gail)

This is the original image I used

Hi Gail..... I'm not to sure how you do it but it is just a beautiful work of art, I love to see your starting image, it shows just how much time you have invested on P/P work...well done my friend...ps thank you for your kind words on my two boys, it was lovely to hear from you, take care Gail warm regards Grant.

You must have been writing as I was posting the photo I started with. I truly appreciate that lovely critique. I could have created 2 seperate images as I was doing this one, but saw a step further and tried it, and it just looked so 'tribal'......so I went with this one.

I so enjoyed the shots of the boys, I almost feel like I am watcing them grow up here on PN. They are certainly beautiful boys.

Talk again soon, Gail

Compare with original, result is very,very interesting,my compliments.

Very nice Gail. Your skill and talent shows up again. I like the colors you used here, they compliment each other well. And I like the composition.

Thankyou Radu for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on this image. It took awhile, but if you have the patience, it is not all that hard to do...just never know what you may end up with!

Kind regards, Gail

Hello to you Ruud, so far away in the Netherlands, but yet it seems you could be just across the street. Many thanks for your visit and sharing your thoughts on this composition.

Kind regards, Gail

Thankyou very much for sharing your thoughts on this composition. When you've told me you like it, I kind of fee I just got a 'pat' on the 'back'. Truly appreciate you taking the time to send a little encouragement my way,

warmest regards, gail

Very nice work, Gail. Love the colors and how you created just beautiful composition. Best regards.

You're certainly the Sorceror's Apprentice. I envy both your curiousity and your doggedness in manipulating the image to reveal an entirely different reality.

Great feeling from the image composition! Well done. Best regards, Linh Dinh

Amazing shot and colors!!!

 

Many thanks for your kind and thoughful remarks, they encourage and inspire,

with warmest regards, Gail

Well, I do enjoy the process, often though I think I perhaps work too long on an image, yet while I am doing so, I learn a lot about layers and blending modes and just what you can do with a simple image. The possibilities are endless.

Your encouragement and compliments have not gone unnoticed, many thanks for your time and interest.

Kindest regards, Gail

Thankyou so much for your interest in this image. Your thoughts shared are very much appreciated.

I can't take an eye of it (my English sucks) and even gave it a seven from the bottom of my heart! Wonderful, significant shapes and colors and I think the caption suits it well! Congratulations my dear Gail!

Best regards!

I think that is one of the nicest critiques I've ever received Pierre. I'm very touched by those very kind words.

Most sincerely, Gail

Impressive work Gail!!!! Best regards, George

This is 'whirrrddd'..........I was just thinking about you George. I heard abou the poor state of affairs in your country and have thought about you and others in Greece who are on PN, I worried for you and your new job. I hope things will be okay for you George.

Thankyou for this very fine critique. Your words always encourage me Geeorge, you take  care and drop a line when you can,

Sincerely, Gail

I like both versions, the original shows your skill with dealing with such subject technical wise and the manipulated one again demonstrate your attachment to this style of fine art and I must admit that your an expert in that field.

The post is very beautiful and of very attractive nature which makes it well connect with the viewers because of its pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.
