I had to get up at dawn to sort out our new Puppy (Oh Joy...).

Had some time before leaving for work, so here's another stab at the Kaleidoscope theme with an autumnal twist.

So Autumn is round the corner... An excellent picture especially done so early in the morning, I like the composition and the colours which look quite natural, well seen and executed. Thanks for posting,
:)

I'm so happy you got a new puppy, Clive.

We're getting the fringe benefits

Now, this is getting very fancy here, not an every day Kaleid, hmmmmm. maybe you want to share some tips on how to go about it

Excellent

Hi Fab,

After some PS manipulation to soften and texturize the leaves, this was made using a plugin called Terazzo which allows you to select the symmetry type etc 'on the fly'. My only criticism is that the preview screen is not always wysiwyg and you do often have to crop to gain perfect symmetry. (Hey, I'm a Libran, these things are important!).

See: http://www.xaostools.com/products/terrmain.html

Hope that helps!

Sure there was a song about autumn leaves Clive..........was it Gene Pitney ???, Can't remember now.

Anyway, it the soft colours that work well for me in this. The patterns are magic. I can see this as an inlaid floor design with different timbers, maybe marquetry on furniture. beautiful Work. :) :)

All the best Clive, nicely done again.
