Trying to get back into my image making after all this messing about with the forum. This one started out as the bottom of an iron and a low down shot of a weed growing through the paving slabs on the patio.

I'm glad you finally got a break from tweaking the forum codes, Steve. Very creative as usual. Was the orb a photoshop effect?

Cheers Jiro. The orb (or hole) is the filler valve in the bottom of a household iron. I will post the original shot soon have to let some fireworks off to celebrate one of our politico-religious festivals ...Guy Fawkes night here. Seeing as though I am the only Catholic in the house..looks like its me on top of the bonfire again

Sounds a bit scary considering that you are alone against the crowd. ;D Well, take care of yourself not to get toasted and burned!

A very groovy image, I must say... However I am fearing for your knees getting up from down there, and now you've drawn my attention to it, I must add spraying the weeds in the paving to BC's list....

I do like this, looks like something from another planet, and I like the way you have isolated the green plant from the green background as this could had quite easily have got lost/blended in.

I LIKE it! I love the colors and light and textures...er, however you did them. it does have this excellent feel of The Jetsons - that fifties (in the US, anyway) sense of if it's plastic - it's good - even if it's something that's supposed to be natural that's plastic. So, I get what George is saying about another planet. Actually, as a matter of fact, the weed - that bright green color - it looks an awful lot like the plastic mistletoe that's been in the bottom of one of the Christmas boxes since before I was born - I always get the feeling that it's from the fifties. Alright, and since I'm twaddling on, I might as well mention that everything from my grandparents felt like it was from the fifties because they had the iconic Danish fifties house - that modern, George Jetson look to a tee!
