I tried to follow Don Diego's advice to "paint on the image" and to crop to find the picture in the picture.
Not sure if I got it yet :D

This is what I started with...

As you can see in the first one, it's really hard for me to bring myself to get so tight you don't know what you are looking at. I was obviously more adventurous with the second one.

They both look great, Rusty. 1st is my favorite
It's just amazing how many different looks you can get from one bold design. Keep looking,Rusty. There are more there.

The second photo looks really interesting now. If I hadn't seen the original I wouldn't have any idea what it was, but I'd still have a good look at the image because it draws the eye. :thumbsup:

Both are great, Rusty
Good stuff! I like the first one in your gallery the best, but really all 3 are quite nice. The colors in the modified images are lovely.

Thanks y'all,
I'm still working up the nerve to crop really, really tight.

Diego, you should know me by now - I'm a bright color kind of guy. If God had wanted everything in B&W, He wouldn't have invented Kodachrome 64

Rusty, you and I are definately together on this concept. I, too, have a very difficult time to crop so close that no one knows what the photo is about. I certainly will keep working at it and hope to post a few abstract images, but most will be less abstract. Never-the-less, I have learned a lot about close cropping, and I now feel more comfortable about getting in closer than ever before, thanks to Don Diego's encouragement. I did comment on your original image in your gallery, which is similar to your first image here. I really like it. Have no fear, we will succeed!
