 Used a B&W photo and overlayed with the bean filter:

in grain merge mode.

Used chele's cookie sheet filter in overlay mode.

Ran all through nik efex midnight blue - very slightly. That produced these extreme white spots. I fussed with them, but in the end, I blurred the edges and decided to leave them. I like the raw feel they give.

Finally, for a bit more obscurity, I used the ripple water filter: in 50% overlay.

I erased the beans and the water off of the hands.

The most natural thing in the world or a frightening metamorphosis - wild bit of art, here. Now you'll have everyone searching and searching for the "nude" - look how many views already and it's only been 9 days! :)

Is this the infamous "beast with two backs?" It's creepy because it seems obvious until one sees the odd shapes at the top of the photo -- which really do make him seem alien!

I don't know what the original looks like but the first thing that came to my mind is a mans back and a women puting her hands on his side, what could they be doing?..Very wild effect and very different views you have gotten from this abstract, nicely done. Love the tone too!

Looked like an x-ray in the thumb! This is scarily creative

The myriad of possibilities makes this intriguing. I especially like the silvery, underwater effect.

Ok, I just watched the movie Invasion and you are giving me the alien willies! P.S. Don't rent it, not worth the time - the movie that is.

This is totally amazing. One wonders if one is helping another person through a physical dilemma or if those hands are caressing the body. Or is the person the same person belonging to the hands. It keeps one intrigued.
