In the thumbnail view, that branch looks like a unicorn's horn ... :-)

I notice you seem to extend your spirals through more steps than I've been experimenting with -- can make for a smoother effect ... these designs with a few flecks of color seem to work well.

Thanks for sharing the technique for generating these spiral patterns! :-)

I like the composition, but the lighting/contrast seems a bit harsh.

Interesting treatment (of my favorite kind of pear) but just a little dark (on my monitor) for my taste.

Or maybe the Wizard of Oz. :-)

Interesting geometry -- the reflection is not quite a "mirror-image" ...

Congratulations! I'm sure if I'd shot this it would have finished about 50 places lower ... ;-)

He Was My Brother

Oooooh ... I'm a little surprised anyone else even know of this song. I put the lyrics in my notes too, because I figured most people wouldn't know what it was about.

I didn't know it was specifically about Goodman (thanks for the info), though I know of another song (by Tom Paxton) called "Goodman and Schwerner and Cheney" about the same event.

Hmmm ... I wonder if it really is about Goodman, because the info I have is that the song is from 1963 -- if he was killed in 1964 that doesn't make much sense, unless Paul Simon is a prophet as well as a tunesmith ... or else some date info is wrong somewhere.

I think keeping part of the original relatively intact turns these from straight abstracts into surrealistic visions -- this came out great.

Very nice soft gradients -- reminds me of a bowlful of polished glass "jewels."

Really like the spiraling effect -- can you post the steps you used to achieve that?

This doesn't look like the same version of The Saddle Club we get in the US!

Fine action shot -- congratulations.
