Riding the wave

I did several of these swirling photo art pieces, I am going to post some of the “better “ ones. I tried the Idea in monochrome, it is not as impressive as in color, but it kind of works, what do you think?

Spooky Night

This is actually a photograph, but it turned out like an impressionist painting so I decided to post it here too. Photographs sometimes surprises me as even though they are not great shots turn out rather artistic and pleasing to my eyes. Any thoughts on this?
