I used small clear drinking glass as a filter while capturing this part of Venetian Music (a Venice canal pic posted within my Venetian Reflective Impressionism photo essay). Altering use of three glass objects as filters while capturing sections of this pic brought back times as a kid when I noticed figures, animals, and things in stuff, like pieces of wood and slabs of marbles. I laughed when this image popped up on my screen.

In the Dreamy Venetian Abstracts photo essay.

    Kind of like reading tealeaves, isn't it? LOL! This is a great example of filtering, Deb. Very colorful and fascinating.

    This is my favorite of your series! It's funny how 'normal' something can look when you're trying to be abstract. These are really cool creative filters.

    You are so resourceful Deb!! Excellent shot! I recognized this instantly from Rorschach test I failed 25 years back!! I said it was a banana and an apple reflected in the hubcap of a '51 Mercury coupe... cost me an outstanding employment opportunity!!

    This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Excellent create-a-filter shot!!! Did you know that the ability to see "things" in clouds, tiles, marble, etc., is called being a pareidelia? Look the word up in the dictionary. I see shapes, etc., all of the time, I love being a pareidelia : )
