Better take it easy on the meds, Ted.

This is the stuff of which Grateful Dead album covers were made! Well, not literally the stuff (three letters) of course.

Two amazing imaginative creations. Thank you!

I truly feel for the man who has no imagination.

I didn't mean any offense. They are very interesting images, just reminded me of some of the trippy stuff from my long-ago younger years that was often associated with certain substances.

My statement wasn't directed at you. It's a generalization. No offense was taken.

I used to work with a guy who was a PS Guru, you know, one of those guys that gets that award at a big PS convention. Some of the stuff he came up with to win that award were unreal. Love the colors here Ted.

I've always been a little dubious about the various methods of manipulating images available in various editors (I use GIMP: an add-in package, G'MIC, adds hundreds of effects and editing tools) wondering about valid (artistically, photographically) real-world use of all that stuff that must have taken days, weeks and months to code. Now I am a convert: your manipulated images are amazing. Certainly real art.

Not that I am going to start trying it, at least in the foreseeable future, wherein I am still at the bottom of the ladder of simple post-processing. But I'm certainly appreciating

Thank you Thad. Sometimes hobbies will take you in unexpected directions. Enjoy the ride.
