Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Photo and Digital Art Gallery, week ending 17th August, 2012!I have not posted here in a while. Been busy with other things and havent really had time to get creative with the computer. Lucky for me I had some time this weekend.

Played around with an image from last year that I took of a Texas Ratsnake. Anisotropic Diffuser, fractalius, and texturizer was used to create this. Hope you like it.

The fractal halo really helps him stand out.

Love the colours, the open mouth, and the blades of grass that have been frac'd. Well done Hector.

Well done! A great use of Fracts to enliven this already dramatic image. Great job!

This one has certainly had its tail end in the electrical socket! A lovely arrangement of the coils for maximum artistic effect. Well done!
