Moody Monday: Complicated -

"Complicated"
$50 Unframed - LUCAS GALLERY
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather

The theme at Moody Monday this week - complicated - made me think of a photograph taken at a dentists office last spring. The subject matter was a children's toy and you can see the original here before a little bit of cropping and minimal resizing. After running the original through the various filters here at the Secret Visual Laboratory, what you see above is the even more complicated result. What could be better?
