Jim looks very pleased. <br/>The early phase photos look very appealing with the limited palette. Perhaps a background would allow a place for some of these simple patterns. Amazing work.

Congratulations! I like the .. what to call it... the tension between the whole image and the parts. It would be bland without that tension, just a photograph. The fact that I the viewer can see the manipulations and the process is what draws me in deeper. I want to know how, I want to know why, and I'm interested in my own "seeing," how do my eyes make sense of a bunch of funny colored shapes? For me, the more tension the better. It looks great, Mike.
