It seemed only appropriate to flip this image from downunder as on

first viewing it I saw the primitive faces. I'm undecided whether it

would benefit from a closer crop to eliminate the detail along the

bottom. Your opinions are appreciated.

Where is this? At first I thought it was a closeup of bark of some kind. Great colours. The cropping appears fine to me, but I know what you mean, it often is hard to decide, especially with abstractions. Greetings, Luc

A bit like those ink blot things the psychologists are so fond of. :-) I could stare at this for hours and se all sorts of things....

At first I didn't want to crop it. Then tried it with a red 100 channel mixer conversion and the shapes started to come out. I ended up cropping a slice off the top and quite a bit off the right. The upper right corner is dark and murky, so better to be rid of it. Here's an attempt.

David, I take your point about the murky corner, and I think the pattern change there detracts from the 'faces' too. However, I am partial to the coloured version because it was the warm sandstone hues that attracted me to this cliff in the first place. Thanks for your contribution.

Yes thanks. I had played with the original quite a bit, with my limited knowledge. But yours is an improvement and more like another shot I took here on a different day at a different time, which is warmer and brighter. If I go back there someday, I'll take more time to set up. This is a very busy walkway and there's not much room for setting up a tripod without annoying somebody. I guess it needs to be at dawn.

Hanna, this is a mysterious stoneface. It makes an excellent abstract art! And among all versions, I like the original you posted best.
