Layered Snow Trees on top of Week One’s Fire.This is a corrected version of last week’s image, though. I tried to diminish the banding in the first one. Tweaked Master Opacity slides. Heightened contrast and brightness.
Week 2 of February’s One Four Challenge
Turtlemoon Impressions 
Not normally my king of image but it works quite well in a way; mixing the graphic nature of the internal fire with the warmth of the fire.

Thanks Ben. My end goal here is to learn how to better use my photos in textile art.

I like the composition of your composite!! i.e., intersecting diagonals. My eye is drawn to the image behind the flame (embers?). Very interesting art.

Thank you! Yes, visually it draws you into the center where those embers lie in the back layer.

Interesting effect with the overlay.

This really has stepped into a graphical representation this week Janis – so interesting – it keeps my attention – and for me a good experiment 🙂

Thanks Robin! Perhaps it’s because lately I’ve been working with a lot of images that are in opposition with one another, I simply couldn’t resist the juxtaposition of fire and ice.

Ive come back to this again and have noticed your comment about textile use. I can definitely see this as a fabric design. Would be very versatile!
Do you design fabric? I did a design brief, creating my own piece and loved doing it – would love to do more and do hope to.. and all of this experimenting definitely helps 😃😃

I may be totally off base here, I see an artistic interpretation of an elephant as the two merge together and I really like it. Love the juxtaposition and such an interesting effect.

LOL! Although I don’t see an elephant, Carrie, I have no problem with folks seeing whatever they see in abstract imagery – who’s to say?
