Emergent Form

I'm not a big fan of the frame, as I think it steels to much attention. But I definitely like your texture and the way the artifact emerges from the scratched surface. An abstract yes, but an abstract that piques my curiosity and imagination.

Dynamic picture and title, Jack! It’s like taking off, a runner’s low start, a pent-up emotion, ... Interesting PP plus multi-valued perception, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Lars, Tatiana - Thanks for taking the time to comment on this picture. Lars, you might be right about the border; a bridge too far. Tatiana, thanks as always for your comment and support. You are a treasure and a reminder that this site was once a vibrant and energetic community.

Don't know why (art isn't always explained) but I find this image a masterful work. My brain ignores the frame and luxuriates in the pure pleasure of form and texture.

Like the way you post processed the image, somehow I am perceiving logographic kanji in this abstract, well done.

Jack, I find this image to represent philosophy in its best form - a pure thought experiment. The dark properties of the emergent object are unique to the object as a whole. The image also is a unique piece of photographic art (and a favorite).

I think I was wrong about ignoring the frame. I was just not conscious how much the frame/border and its hue helped me to see this excellent art.
