June Image - Fantasy Planet
The result of playing with the polar coordinates function on an image of lichen on rock. I used the fill bucket to get the black surround, it spilled into some areas of the image. I left it as it looked like a black sea.

Very very interesting. Complex in a way, yet it is all confined attractively. Reminds me of a Yin/Yang representation. The more one studies it, the more one sees without losing interest. Had I not had the Y/Y reaction I might have quibbled with how much dark space is on the left.

Very interesting imagery that looks like a large female spider ( but then since I love spiders…).

Nice contrast of colors against the black background.

I like it.  It is sort of like a black flower floating in space.

I live in Coventry, England along with my wife Dawn.

Photography has been a passion of mine for many years, whiling away the hours in a darkened room I have always been interested in manipulating the images I have taken. As the computer gradually invaded my life I saw the ‘light’ and now play with my images digitally.  I have been involved with photographic clubs in my local area since the late 1970s, and a member of the Royal Photographic Society since the mid 1980s.  My membership of PSA began in early 2001.

Photographically my current equipment is a Nikon D80 with 18-135 and 75-300 lenses , and a Fuji Finepix S7000.

As far as photographic subjects are concerned I will point the camera at most things with preferences for landscapes, natural history and sports (as long as it involves wheels).

When it comes to the digital side of things I use Photoshop on a custom built system, with an AMD Athlon 1060Mhz Processor, 1024Mb RAM and a 80Gb Hard Drive.
