 I did this one last night using macro shots I took of a little fish from my aquarium and the bottom of a glass (prism style). In the end I had 21 active layers. It is difficult to describe the process because my approach is very organic. I really just play until I get something I like. I use primarily blending modes; channel mixer;layer masks; hue/sat; and levels..as well as other basic tools.

Not just a nice overlay, but an outstnading abstract!

A-MAZING! Being new at this type of art, my mind is boggled by someone's ability to do something like this!

Thanks for stretching the boundaries for me in what you can do with overlays :)

Love the scales and the big eye!
Your approach to processing is similar to mine. The image usually dictates where it will end up. : )

My first thoughts were...

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

I don't know if you know Dr. Demento, but anyway... LOL!

This (and the tree one too) is like a quilt. I can see it made up in velvets and shimmers. It has so mauch tactile feel, it's had to remember it's a photograph.

From the thumb I thought it was a sonogram. ROFL

Very cool and truly different!!! Love the glittering turquoise scales.

Wonderful colors, I really like the cube effect going on! And I know what you mean about playing until you are happy with the image, I too tend to end up with tens of layers :-)

What a strange shot. Quite the abstract piece. Really nice colors. That is alot of layers to be playing with, but I understand. I have not gotten up that high, but I have gotten pretty high when doing a pic.
