BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Totem Masks
Totem Masks
Fun with filters... I used Kaleidoscope on an image to which I'd already applied ZigZag & Polar.
I liked how the ring of red/pink/black almost suggested a raccoon's or fox's face, as if a mask,
as well as all the fine, sharp lines making up the rest of the image.

  Fantastic image Chris! The face reminds me of the Fox Racing logo (motocross). Well done! :}

  Thank you Angela! (As one of the people who inspired me to try kaleidoscoping!) I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the "fox face" in this ;)

  Another great abstract, Chris. The fine lines are so clear, it's amazing. Congrats on the finals, and very nicely done!

  Thanks, Mick! I particularly liked the fine lines also; they're so crisp and pointy! (That comes from the ZigZag filter, earlier in the transformation, I believe.)

  Chris, somehow I missed this wonderful shot. Very well done and, as usual, very creative.

  Thanks, Don... can you really call it a "shot" after all the manipulation, though? ;) Too much spare time on my hands, I guess...

  Great intricate design and colors. Your Kaleidoscope design is way better than mine, Janet
