#1 Fish baby

In the previous post I had mentioned that these fish baby (a working title) images are a series of 21 scanned collages.  This is image #1... meaning this was the first thing that i pulled together out of a pile of cut up fish eyes, a folded baby's head and an old photo from madrid.


No editing here at all.  As often happens when I'm doing a series, the first image gets every possible edit thrown at it... to see what options work and don't work to make it more than what you see below.

scan 1

Here are a bunch of results... really the babies of the image above.  First the mirrored versions.

I do like the contrast on the B& W ones here.  Two with a pop filter below

Last two... closely related versions and my favorites.  I especially like the egg yoke quality of the eye on the last one. while the sea foam of the first is striking too.

enjoy
