To me it looks like a stork and a monkey. Sorry I don't see any serpents.


Ian McIntosh   {K:38717} 6/16/2008
Sorry Mirek. I may have been looking at this too long! :)
I see his head. Thanks for that.

I still haven't found the cabbages,maybe they were carried off by the monkey.What I do see.I like.there's a sort of apocaliptic feel about this image...does the snake have some sort of symbolic role here....Intrigued!
Cheers, Tony

The cabbages would be with the monkey. I don't see where he went either.
The local term for this tree is "cabbage tree".

ooohhh another wonderful thing..

Surely some symbolic role but they are both loved and reviled in different cultures. Too cold for them here, I can take 'em or leave 'em.
This is a comission, Tony, but am still struggling with the constraints. She saw my photos shot from a car some months ago, wants black and white photo in photo look. I'm getting nice colour shots but this hasn't converted to desaturated very well at all. I boofed the contrast to the max. Maybe too bright a white? Maybe it just won't fit into the b&w constraint. Never mind I reckon I'd print the colour one for myself.

Have you tried using channels ,converting to BW and then pulling down the blue channel a long way and then pushing up the green and red channels- you can get a good IR effect like that-see my last 2 posts.

The whole series evolves to something very interesting, Ian, but this one is a bit different from the others (for me). The assimption of "something is there" seems to be stronger here, perhaps because the contrours of the shapes seem more definite?

Cheers!

Nick
