Description
"Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves." ~ William Davenant "Meditation is the soul's perspective glass." ~ Owen Felltham "An hour-glass is a reminder not only of time's quick flight, but also of the dust to which we must at last return." ~ Georg Lichtenberg "People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk." ~ Stephen King
Inspired by Doug's Smashed Windshield Abstract 3, I decided to try something similar with a photo I took on Monday. This is some shattered glass I found on an old, overgrown parking lot near an industrial area, with water condensing on the glass from beneath. I cropped and mirrored the photo and did some other minor postwork to achieve what you see here. I know what I see -- what do you see? ------
Thank you for your watery comments on my last upload,

I see a moth. Please send the prize for the first correct answer!! Bye the way, a cool image.
Symmetrically lovely!
That is great. I hope post some more experiments like this
Splendid textures... a very lovely abstract ;O)
I like this very much!! superb textures and beautiful subtle colour.
I see a fantastic abstract! I absolutely love what you have done here. Excellent! Pure enjoyment to look at.
That's glass! how odd! Cool photo
Excellent work!!!!
Oooh, is this like a Rorschak kinda thingy? Hmmmm...I see a tunnel and a train...lol. Nah. I see an insect, actually. Cool work, Kortalouche. I can see how the other image inspired this and you pay great tribute to it with this.-M :^)
A from above view of some sort of aircraft, perhaps an x-wing but it's been a while. Very cool though.
An excellent abstract piece of work!
Awesome! Open visual.....a bug. :)
structured chaos? nice shot
Weird but wonderful. Looks like a mutant crab.
super looking bug. maybe a butterfly look to it. cool postwork
I see a dancing bug doing the dance of the glass shard ! Interesting manipulation and capture, well done ! ~Cheers~ :o)
Wow - Very cool! I thought of Doug as soon as I saw your thumbnail. Awesome work on this! I have no idea what it looks like, but it's very cool.
Visually and made pefect !
I see multiple figures (at least 4), like a totem on the back of a flying bug that looks to have been crossed with a frog. This is incredible! I love these type of images and what comes from the effect. Beautiful shapes and images within images. Truly excellent photo art. Hugs, Suzanne
Nice work....
-- very cool Kort ! --- pretty soon everybody will be doing these smashed glass abstracts -- perhaps it will become the very next 'phase' - ( after Donovan's 'electrical banana' ) ......but , if I'm honest ,here - it reminds me of a 'bug' monster movie I saw in the 50's --with a giant preying mantis wrecking havoc on civilization -- either that or looking through one of those cylindrical kaliedoscopes....nice work !
Great composition employing imagination and mirrored postwork. Lots of weird textures at work here. My kind of stuff, if I can ever remember to get around to it. Okay, I see the top view of an advanced jet fighter, with Star Wars wings and canards up at the nose section. Either that or the configuration is an exotic crystallized or fossilized flying insect.
An amazing capture and I like your postwork. Lovely textures with the look of a fractal.
Fantastic!!!! This is awesome...what a cool idea and it turned out so well!!
Interesting work. Look good to me. Aloha
The symmerty and the colors make this a treasure to looks at.
I see a Chinese crab-man with weapons... (OK, I don't even want to know what Hermann Rorschach would think of that.) Very nice way to turn broken glass into art. Bravo!
