7th (tie) Through the Looking Glass
by mlynn

Today I printed off a little vector drawing that I created in PSP some time ago.
I stood it up on a chair, then positioned some old binoculars (backwards) in front of it.
Then I focused on the image looking thru the binoculars.
I composited a couple of images to get both the image and the binoculars in focus, and put a gradient as the background.

Very nice! I like the colors and the pattern (motifs) of your drawing. This is a cool idea to use the binoculars; it’s so simple and beautiful. *The only thing that bothers me is the truncated base of the ocular.
