Here's the first, which includes quite a bit of the original image, but still much less than half of it.

That is very interesting Walter. I like it.

Thanks. Although I had applied that filter to quite a few images, the real impact of it isn't apparent until the image is enlarged & cropped. As applied, the glass bricks are too numerous and small to appreciate or even see the interesting effects the filter produces.

OK maybe marginally abstract, but this thread has been dormant for 6 days.

That looks - kinda - like a plumer's helper made of glass. Like plastic straws and Styrofoam cups, a use-once product.

I wasn't sure whether this should go as an abstract or a pattern/texture/repetition

More so than I thought (this is part of a light fixture). Or maybe you were just trying to make me feel good
