Smoke photos
I took a lot of shots of incense smoke about a year ago & I've just got back to processing some of them.

The processing of this shot consisted of mirrored layers and inverted colours.

Disclaimer: I'm not resposible if you see strange things in it that gives you nightmares :)

You can sometimes see different things if you look at the pic from a different angle so to save you standing on your head the next image is the same shot but flipped vertically.

I'll come back this evening and post a couple more that you can ponder over a glass of wine.

Cheers,
Allan.

I see a Thai dancer in a beautiful headdress in the top one (think I saw that in a previous one, too!).  The reversed one looks like a goat's head to me, complete with horns, ears and beard. 
Amazing photos, Allan.

Wow amazing Allan
At first glance I thought they where strange photos of Xrays
Fascinating - I love the way you go "outside the box" when taking photos - love following you on Twitter btw

I was thinking pelvic x-ray as well.

You really are very clever Allan, just love seeing these.

Here's another for you.

Some slightly different processing on this one & I have coloured it green.

The green one would have been good for Halloween - Reminds me of Freddy Krugger.

The last one reminds me of 'Batty' from Fern Gully.....hehehe

The bottom one would make a great book-cover photo - looks like a spider and diamond to me, side-on.  Fantastic!
