AT HOME WITH THE TRIFFIDS....

By thorn
....this is a capsicum tree used for this abstract,i had fun making this one and manipulating and learning the sponge tool too.I used the saturate part of it.It reminded me of the book by John Wyndham-Day of the Triffids.This is for the brilliant mememories.
Thankyou to everyone who has commented and encouraged me on the last one,sorry i have not uploaded for a while,been feeling out of sorts and had a migraine.Fine now.Take care.AnnSmile
Thankyou.

I knew this was yours from the thumb Ann, you have your own style with these shots. I see what you mean about the Triffid effect it looks to swirl up from the ground, great shape and form to this abstract Ann, well done, Adrian, hope your migraine eases, have a good weekend,Adrian

You certainly have captured the feeling of the plant rearing up Ann.Good shapes without loosing the identity of the plant.
Perhaps you should try a nice watery one for JW,s The Kraken Wakes.

Hi Ann, superb image as usual. having big problems with my computer at present, needs a new graphics card, keeps on crashing and refusing to boot up, hence my lack of presence on the site at present. Will try to catch up when I have it fixed.

Ooo...the chiliman LIKES this. The drops are so clear and the chillies really stand out against the almost black & white landscape.

And you've done THE perfect framing for this.

Good one, Ann.

I love what you have done here Ann, its funny how we all have our own way when we manipulate, often you can tell from the thumbnail
I would have put a little green frog at the bottom left hand corner
