"Copper Dreams:
Turbulence"

I've been jamming to get ready for a big exhibit that opens in a few weeks, (more about that anon) and have been working with the "Copper Dreams" series, which is still only about half sorted out.

This one uses pieces of several different photos taken with the iPhone 4, which tended to pump up the colors, especially the blues. Adjusting the levels tends to pump them up even more. Since I'm a color freak, that's usually OK with me. It's amazing just how many colors the copper could produce. I didn't make any of these colors up, but I did emphasize some, and tone others down.

I also like the seething directional motion in this one, and what seems to be a thumbprint.
