Description
First of all, just so you know what you're looking at here, this is a picture of two pots stacked one on top of the other. You're looking at two versions of the same image. (I may have gone too far with the crop this time ... it doesn't actually look like anything any more! LOL!)
The one on the left is the (mostly) original image.
On the right, the image has been altered with layers in Photoshop. (Everyone has been calling this layering technique "grunge," although I believe "grunge" is something quite specific and this isn't it!)
I was just playing with the idea of changing the painted surface of the pots, and thought I'd show you what I came up with!
ps ... After I got this all done, I made a thumbnail ... and then totally fell in love with the thumbnail! LOL! I like it better than the full images.

Very cool work and I like what you have done with the capture. Lovely colouring.

the original is beautiful in part because of the crop, because by eliminating so much of the pots you've let us focus on the 'abstract art' of the surfaces. The fire-lines of the glazes look like topographical maps or microscopic colonies spreading...In your transformed version, these surfaces are beset by electrical storms or laden atmospheres, as if the weather fronts moved in. That's probably what you love about the thumbnail (lol), it captures the electric energies moving across this already complex world. Beautiful seeing, once more, showing that for you pots are big orbs with whole continents on their surfaces. You always find more each time you look. (I'll stop here for now to go to other galleries. But I'll reply to the others soon...)

Excellent and discrete PW which works perfectly. The so call "grung effect" is great!!

"Grunge", definitely so, thats my opinion - added texture mostly depicting age or wear, or unkempt features attributed to the music genre which may equally apply here. Be as it may, I love the results.
