Tree Lace

A simple shot of tree branches that I took in Namibia, mirrored vertically and then horizontally. It's been done to death, but I was surprised to see how the randomly shaped branches suddenly turned into lace-like abstract pattern.

Very interesting! Reminds me of the snowflakes you make by folding paper and cutting out designs!

This is so cool, Marsel! I love the patterns. The thumbnail looks like an owl's face. I can see all kinds of faces in the large view.

This does emit a very African feel to it. I really like it, although it resembles more of a painting than a photograph...which isn't bad, just a little too close to "the line".

I think this looks like Batik! Neat! Good work!
