Weird is.. well it's weird, but it's gorgeously done ^_^. I really like this set (Although I'd live treasure a lot more if the gem or whatever were in focus, not the ground ^_^).

Thank you.

It's a piece of broken glass (from a beer bottle I think.

The effect I was going for was the light striking it so that it looks like a gem rather than a piece of rubbish, but you're right, the focus could have been better.

I understand, you make with what you got. I can see why having the glass in focus would lessen the impact of it being treasure ^_^. So I totally understand where you're coming from there. In which case, well done, 'cause I couldn't tell it was just a piece of broken bottle

Nice set! I love Weird! Such fun little extrusions :)
Endless is also great (the blue behind the clock is *intense*!), and hand is so literal, it makes me grin :)

Thank you!

Lichen is fun stuff :-)

the blue behind the clock is *intense*!

I was lucky there - I didn't realise how blue it looked until I uploaded the picture :-)

Fascinating work. Very rustic.

Thank you.

Weird is awesome, great macro work! Thanks for the kind nod, love the shot for endless. I like treasure, it does look like a gem on the ground. Tangled is a great tree (shrub?), what in the world is the hand sign for?

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind nod

Credit where its due - your shot showed me the potential for a circlular thing to be physically endless - it was that which then tipped me off that the clock could work, as it measures time, which is metaphorically endless as well.

Tangled is a great tree (shrub?), what in the world is the hand sign for?

I'm not sure what sort of tree tangled is - it grows outside the doctor's surgery in the village. The hand is the top part of a pub sign - I think it was originally the logo of a brewery called Ind Coope which is based near here (in Burton-Upon-Trent) - best image I could find of it was this :- http://www.brewtruck.co.uk/country/images/I/indlledofoden.jpg

Oh, I like the logo on the delivery vehicle, very cute. I'm still just fascinated by the tree in tangled.

Weird reminds me those time lapse plant videos. I always found those creepy, but I like your picture. Endless too, that sky looks dangerous.

sendyouback February 21 2009, 03:47:16 UTC

yeah, reminds me of.

cat63 February 21 2009, 10:30:30 UTC

Thank you.

I always rather liked those time-lapse things, but some of them do look a bit like aliens, so I can see how they might be a bit creepy :-)
