5/9/2013 ~ Reeds and Reflections

Trying something different and a bit out of the box. This is a shot of reeds sticking out of the water in a small pond nearby. About 1/2 the image is the reeds, the other half is their reflections, but it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I processed this in Topaz Simplify, then in Photoshop in the Poster Edges filter. I over saturated it to go with the abstract effect. Not sure I like it, but it was fun to make :)

Thank you all for the nice comments on yesterday's Iroquois Beadwork shot! I still have several more pieces to photograph and post. Arctangent asked if the Iroquois still produce beadwork. They do, but now the pieces go mostly to private collectors rather than to be sold as souvenirs as the craft was originally developed for. I prefer the old, antique pieces, mostly because I feel they have a story to tell. I do have one piece of modern beadwork. It's pretty, but it's only story is me, LOL, and I already know mine!
