Abstract My Back Fence

My Back Fence · 12:48 AM

I was looking at my back fence and noticed the contrasts and decided to play with photos in Pain Shop Pro3. The original photo and a resultant abstract. Thanks for looking.. Cliff

Turned out very cool- would be nice to see a more interesting background, though.

That is cool - I didn't know one could even do that sort of thing.

Cliff, cool abstract, no way could I tell that is a fence in the 2nd image.

Thanks guys. The knotholes are about the only giveaway. Boredom can be fun when you get to create something like this, Amazing what a warped mind can come up with.....Cheers Cliff

The second shot reminds me of a book.

Neat idea! I like what you did with your shot in #2...very interesting! Tom

Very very creative! I love the contrasts and textures. I was immediately reminded of a diamond and I also like the fence picture just as is. I can see so many faces and symbols in it, it really is very cool. Thanks so much for posting!!!

Thanks for the kind comments Tess, we have lived here and I have stared at that fence for 23 years. I finally looked past the obvious to see the uniqueness that was there all the time. I guess I now need to get back to it and take a pan shot for more fence. Cliff
