Great colors - funny to think of this as spring when the colors are perfect Christmas and that's winter here! Great composition.

Thankyou for the comment.

I used a couple of Topaz Studio filters on separate versions and pasted one into the other and blended in darken mode - can't remember what opacity. The filters were 'expressionism' and 'melting'.

Wonderful colours and structure, love it!
It's an art to discover something like that in the first place - you definitely have the "photographer's eye"

Love it. Exactly the kind of abstract I would consider using for a double exposure overlay.

Like palm fronds on fire. Great lines and color.

I like the contrasting motion of "up" on the left and "down" on the right, although the very bright patch in the lower left corner does draw my eye a tad too much. The photographs of your glass collection over the years have been a delight. This is the first red piece that I recall seeing!

The eye of the viewer moves though this image quite nicely. Well done.

Comment by PenelopeK:
I agree with all the previous comments, and my apologies that rather than come up with a new comment I took a delightful side-trip looking up information about Mt Rowan, in part out of general interest in Australian geography and also because I visited Ballarat when my sister lived near there years ago.

From Wikipedia I got:

"Mount Rowan is a small extinct volcano on the edge of the city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It was also known as Waldies Hill.[1] It is 518 metres above sea level.[2] The lava flows from the volcano are thought to be from 2.1 million to 2.9 million years ago. It is one of the 123 volcanoes in the Ballarat and Daylesford area.[3] These are part of the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains.I .

That's a lot of volcanoes!
