Abstract expressionist value expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, the unknown over the known, the veiled over the clear, the individual over society and the inner over the outer.
— William C. Seitz, American artist and Art historian
Taking a close-up of a mundane object – in this case a door with peeling paint – I then played around with a stained-glass effect. Fascinating to see the myriad of tones that emerge from this mainly blue palette.

Very abstract effect. Photoshop can give you a lot of fun, but where did the time go…
Too true! One reason why I don’t shoot in raw because I’d never get anything done, unless I stick to one photo per post.
WP linked with photography is a very time consuming, but satisfying hobby.
How lovely, a gorgeous colour. I’ve never found a use for that edit, you’ve inspired me to try again.
I have used it on images that have been too blurred to use and often dark – can produce some interesting effects. And as you can see it varies enormously depending on the settings you use.
I love the colours in the door, and I really like the effect you have used. It’s amazing how many different colours there actually are.
Lots of shades of blue which I love!
