Thursday Challenge: Experimental -

"Experimental"
digital collage by Mick Mather

The theme, experimental, offered this week at Thursday Challenge almost seems as though it were tailor-made for me personally. Most of my photo collage work is experimental using filters to alter each image. In this case, a bit of gaussian blur was employed at various stages of layering and experimental filtering. In the end, it was a 1960's psychedelic, posterized look that I was after. Sweet.
