Description
Thanks for the lovely comments, my friends! I'm so glad you enjoy my images!
This is a very atypical gumbykat image. I rarely use symmetry. I rarely use the "difference" merge mode. And when I layer images, I usually delineate more clearly than I did here. I'd really like to know what everyone thinks about this experiment!
Enjoy!

Outstanding image. Very well done!
Lovely image! Like a crawling watercreature seen from underneath. Excellent!
It looks great to me! I never play with any of those things. Of course I don't have UF, so that does make a difference!lol q-: Lovely colors and details! V (:
Looks like an insect to me :) Great artwork ! Difference mode (for me) is sometimes a pain for the color control. But is works very well for your image :)
Beautifully Done!
IMHO strict symmetry is something to be avoided. It always has a fast attraction and one is very fast "satisfied" or bored by it. To find the little "mistakes" in an imperfect symmetry is much more interesting. Difference merge mode - I use it when I work with BW images. Or when I have a Hard Light layer on top that tames the colours that are out of control. Difference sometimes creates some kind of a dirty blue that I really dislike. Or an anti-3D effect where the middle is dark and the borders are shining. This is nothing for me too. BTW: it's not bad having a non-orange image in your gallery :-)
you've created a wonderful texture on your abstract symetryc fractal. I like this softbrushed metallic look. excellently done. RS
Wonderful creation Linda!!!!
Wonderful shapes and superb coloring! Great job!
Beautiful Hydroponics Linda! The plant looks vaguely familiar...coolness...I like symmetry!
Allthough I do not always use symmetry myself, I do love it. Therefor I like this work very much. Maybe Andreas is right that one is very fast satisfied or bored with it. But is that for the viewer or the creator? I do not like the little "mistakes" in my own work, and then I work as long as it takes to get the little mistakes undone and I find that a challenge to do! But viewing asymmetry in the work of someone else does not bother me and can be very beautiful. (Pfff am I difficult.. LOL) So appearantly opinions differ Linda, but one thing is for sure; everything that comes from your hand is really gorgeous!
I like the colors and the pattern and the symetric and the beautiful sharp render yes i like it all :-)) Cool job Linda Congrats
As the picutre was downloading, I thought also about an insect. The difference mode gave you an interesting and vibrant green. Definitely different from your usual style, but very beautiful, nontheless. Though assymetrical might make a more interesting composition, I don't see anything wrong with symmetry in an image. I enjoy both equally. :)
Love the colors, and I did think "Big Ole Bug" when I first saw the image (but in a "good way" lol) Kudos for getting the "difference" mode to work.. I try it regularly, but with very little success. Here you have bright, clean colors!
yes - it reminds me of the Alien, sort of - and yet it has a strong image of the green plant - wonderful work!
When difference mode is successful, it can give a beautiful liquid or glassy effect. This qualifies as a success!! I like this very much! Green is so difficult and this one is lovely.
And you rarely do images with no orange. :-) But this is beautiful. The symmetry is a lot of what I like about it, and the colors are perfect.
Well, from my point of view, your experiment is a success. I generally prefer asymmetry to symmetry, but once in awhile a symmetric design surfaces that blows me away. This is such a design, and I like the colors very much. The "difference" layer influence seems subtle, instead of heavy and overwhelming. I like the design, colors and lighting very much!
Great image, Linda! Love the symmetry! ( I'm more the type that doesn't care if it's symmetrical or not. As long as the image catches my eye!) Love the almost alien-like coloring!
Interesting departure from your usual style. It makes me think of a the rib cage of a grasshopper. =^,^=
enchanting metal dream.
Wonderful unique image! Nice work! :)
I don't know the cause, but this image does not have the depth I usually associate with one of yours. I hope I don't sound too harsh, because it is still a good picture.
VERY cool, Linda! Ok, so maybe I'm weird, but I get the sense of looking at the underside of a caterpillar. :?) Well done!
