Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: rubbish

Two young Herring Gulls aren't sure what to make of a feather duster in the water by Newhaven Swing Bridge. This is not a colour-popping image. The eye-catching feather duster was in the river and I don't think I even boosted the colour saturation. This is an eye-catching reminder of the dangers of household items getting into our rivers.

This load of maritime junk is only here to show the starting point for the neighbouring abstract whimsy! www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/29857379

This was an exercise in doodling in Photoshop Elements! Starting from the adjoining photo of rope and other shore detritus the image has been rendered unrecogniseable, so I decided that the little section in the middle of the curl should be a window back into the tangled mess that came before. If you can work out which effects have been used I shall be surprised. There are some obvious ones like 'twirl' and 'chrome', but most of them I can't remember and I certainly couldn't repeat the process!
