This is actually a photo of a dead tree trunk flat on the ground, bark eaten by wood worms. I "reflected" (doubled) the image in Adobe Photoshop®, resulting in the appearance of the "cat".

This is an amazing, artistic find and photo/graphic feat.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIs that a cheshire cat?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it must be.

Is this another example of your use of chiaroscuro?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. The shadows made the worm trails visible, and the shadow gradient around the curve of the trunk made its rounded shape apparent. And then there's the cat...a result of a few glowing leaves and twigs. I wish I had the talent to paint things like this, but it's cool to be able to create with a camera too.
