Autumn Souls

Hey SnowDog, Likewise!! Amazing how small the world really is…

awesome :o)

Many thanks Oscar… first comment I ever got from the Philippines!!

Great effect, so different well done.

Many thanks Zee for diggin the souls! BB

What a fabulous piece of work, billyboy!

Thanks for noticing this Mel. With the volume of pictures that come through every day at Redbubble, things tend to get buried pretty quickly. This is one of my favorite images so I`m really happy you found it and commented. Cheers, BB!

Was looking for faces and this one caught my eye. The colours help so much! Gosh, 1966. Looks like you’ll be staying in Belgium for a while. Makes me think of the book: Only in Holland. Only the Dutch, written by an American, who (obviously) lived in Holland for a while.
My son works in a recording studio, in Sydney (Gasinc – Marty). Can’t help seeing these links. :)

Yeah, 41 years… 40 years ago I would have thought it was sad to be in a place that long. But life is good here. And your son is in the right business. I’ll drop off a link to our studio in one of your pix. Many thanks for your comment! BB

Hello BB, the quality of image is much better here on RB, than Ph. Cr. dont you think?

Thanks Richard, the great thing about RB is that you can upload at high rez. I’m looking forward to checking out your gallery here!

Cool work, great image!

You KNOW I Like this one its different i LOVE Different. Great manipulation!

Wow! Spooky stuff – Very creative.

Thanks Damien, Yvonne and Bruce! This is one of my favs so I really appreciate that you stopped to look and comment.

great image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have such a great imaginations!

What a crazy, clever image – great imagination and so very well done!

whoa… this one is incredible Billyboy…. i love all the faces and they seem like they originated on them.. this is so fantastic.

How ingenious and innovative! J.R.R. Tolkien envisioned the Ents, tree people, and you created the leaf people. I hope there are more of these to come! So fresh and original!

Brilliant concept Billyboy!

And so technically brilliant too!

Wow! What a great idea! Brilliant!

wow

Great

Very creative. one of the best I’ve seen in this class.
I Love the way you composed the base picture and creatively merged the other one. nice color tones and contrast. you’ve superbly done it!

- Mohsen,

This is very creative and i like it a LOT.

oho! i didnt see the faces hidden in the thumbnail image! very creative, otherwordly… the way the faces blend into the leaves reminds me of the movie MirrorMask

good stuff, as always, Bill!

now that is insane too good my friend the colours are insanely beautiful

Totally gorgeous creation Billy…I find this simply inspiring…
your art is FANTASTIC !!!
wishing you best of luck here and everywhere :-) ..thanks for such wonderful comments in my portfolio…

very very unique!!!!!

Fires inspire!

Great work!
You’ve blended the faces in perfectly.

very creative, lovely colours

Wow… You have a great portfolio here!! :)

I think this is my favorite of all!!!!!!!!! well done! this is fantastic!

This is very cool… I must check out “layer blend effects” in PS…. I’m not sure I have seen this feature.

Well done BB!

Awesome, love how whacky and creative you’ve been, really draws the eyes in to every little detail, shan’t say anymore as everyone else has said it already!!!

How did I miss this one? Amazing that you found a face for every leaf! something only you would have patience + determination for, not to mention the skill!

How’s it going w/your new camera?

Great work.

The expressions are so right for every leaf – they look like characters in a theatrical production! Brilliant!

this one must have taken a while! so much to look at and keep the viewer busy…colors, expressions and textures! awesome!

Wow, billyboy, very creative. This is wonderful. Love the colour. Amazing. Great Job.

Interesting and ingriguing composition. Very original work.

just amazing. love the concpet and beautifully done

Billyboy – this is a very cool idea – I do a lot of photomanipulation for fun too on PSFO. If your interested I can PM you the site details although it can get addictive and take up all your waking hours :)

magnificent! must’ve taken quite sometime to create this ?

lol this is great i love it and very interesting. great work

...love this one, super cool stuff

This is Cool! Love your treatment!

Very creative!

Billyboy you are a clever boy!
Well done so very creative
Cheers

billyboy, this is a fantastic shot. I often see faces in my abstract photography , usually elements from nature like bark, rocks, plants etc. I love how you used photoshop to blend faces into this brilliant treatment of the leaves. I have taken photos of leaves that look like people since I see so many anthropomorphic imagery in nature. You have an amazing creative imagination.

great work—well done

Clever, and a lot of creativity went into this.

I see that everyone has pretty well covered anything I could say. So I will just favorite this and tell yo I love it.

You are blowing me away, Billy! This is amazing….you balanced the faces and leaves so perfectly. I could totally see you doing work for the Cirque du Soilel peeps, etc. You should send them your pf!!! You have such an amazing imagination, and quality of work!

This is amazing, love it.

Great image Billyboy!

I am right over your shoulders.. peeking in.. now.. what do I do next???? Of course I want to learn this!!! I like both tea and espresso.. but if we are up late.. who cares.. just a little lemon twist on the side…please…..

I just got in.. a day of play like these leaves.. so much came to me on the ride home.. I see you and I see love pure and simple.. I shall write of darkness.. for I do not think you know how much I appreciate the contrast.. it is what our lives of creation are born from.. we are silly communicators with this pen.. but for now that is our choice… I appreciate you and nothing is ever finished with my twin. More love for you than you realize..even if here we speak in’ tongues’.. on comments through photos or a piece of art.. vibrations never lie. never.. and the way I feel is one day the esspresso with lemon will be had by both at the same table.. with a bit ass Eiffel tower hovering in the beyond.. of course before the Alians come to destroy it!! (what a stoopid movie out about alians called District 19 or some such number!!) .olol xox

this is sooo good, love it.

The leaves look like they’re following the contours of the faces.
Basic picture is:
we are the leaves in this life..
floating in and out.. with Autumn’s purpose..
with Springs release
and Winters contemplation
Summer we fly and flit and flirt to our hearts content
and again we fall with the thud
back to earth
in the muck and mire of our own doing
We Co-Mingle and Co-Create
and we feel better bunched together in
what we feel may be a bit of a mess..
But ahhhh winter comes
Brain Freeze..
We retreat
We Contemplate death
We die
and in Spring we are born
again
With a bit of You inside me
I create again a new Beginning
for Our paths will cross
again and again
and we will wander though the seasons
of our journey again and again,
Because really to be honest,
My world of Creation seems to blossom better
with my knowing of you in and of my LIfe,
the one that seems to be called forth
from my eternal nature,
my tree … is your tree too.
lets dance in the wind baby!

Wow!!!! Love it!!!! Def FAV!!!!!! xoxoxoxo

you know the green leaf on the bottom right open mouth.. I feel like that leaf today.. that is how I feel..

This is outrageously cool.

RB made me fat…sounds like a cheap late night cable tv show lol.

I could emigrate, how much do you think I could get? I got to be alot, trust me!!
