Iron/ steel machinery was my inspiration this time. I started with iron machines details, then added figures… and played with the images. Here are what I was able to produce this time. Simplify…. I tried to take something away every time to leave it as simple as possible.
All the variations in the photo gallery can be enlarged to see my process.

Giving a face to machines is kind of deep….enjoyed your processing♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/ready-room/
I think it is much harder simplifying as you go rather than getting more complicated. Takes much self discipline..don’t you think? It is also interesting that to me, the last, most simple, is the most dramatic. Thanks for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday. I know you are very busy these days:)
What an interesting variety of combinations of colors and textures etc that bring to focus the face in different ways.
Almost shocking beautiful.
All the best.:)
