Mutant Penguin

Uploaded: September 11, 2008

Description

I was putting together some photos in Photomatix that I took this morning at Mt Raineir National Park. I'd just gotten to the end of a waterfall shot and accidentally clicked the "unwrap" tab. This is what it gave me. I couldn't find an undo button. So, after 30 minutes hard labor, this is what I have....

LOL! Sorry to laugh at your misfortune Bob! But I must say that you created a very unique abstract. From the thumbnail it was impossible to guess what this was... lol... I thought maybe a reflection in a bent up car bumper or something like that. Anyway, the results are interesting and fun! #996874

Thanks! It's kinda grown on me. If you look at it big for awhile, it sort of looks like a mutant penguin glaring at Diana... :-) #6443034

Who knows, Bob. Maybe you've stumbled across something that will lead to more artistic and interesting images. This caught my eye immediately. You've inspired me to experiment myself. #6443219
