I'm glad you uploaded this Michael! It's really original and looks good too (because creativity doesn't mean it's always aesthetic!). I like this very much. I don't want to get your hopes up but the VB might not be as harsh on this as you thought... we'll see.
Well, no matter what the count is, the beauty is abundant in this creative effort. I think this would make a terrific image for a computer in a music or movie store!! Album cover, perhaps?
"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
