THE MASK SLIPS

"The Mask Slips" (3-14-17 009v3c) was just morphed from an already heavily fudged with version of a month old pic. My theme for today seems to be hidden things; my dream poem dealt with it, too. Some hiding being very positive, as in victims/targets seeking safety, and some being dangerous/deceptive "bearding"/masking as aggressors do. But to this pic: clearly a massive amount of editing was done. I rarely just follow my nose, making edits at random with no sense of what I might want to have happen. But during a large part of this one's evolution I just kept randomly applying different Photoshop processes and letting them accrue as they would. Then when a result popped on my screen that I found I actually liked, I blurred it all! Just for the fun of it! But then I was off and running even further with my usual more deliberate application of editing functions. BTW, to see the poem/pic for today on hiddenness, click here.
