In Repose I-b : A Sitting Dream (final version)

Has your imagination resolved the abstraction? Do you see her? Your mind wants to: Just as nature abhors a vacuum, consciousness loathes the ambiguous, the unresolved. See her and your mind will rest: Does she dream you, or you she?

Tech Note 1: The image consists of a single, highly processed photographic exposure. (There is no superposition of elements from other exposures.)

 

Tech Note 2: The image results from inverse-linear processing ("ILP") in Lightroom. ILP begins with inverting the Tone Curve (by setting it to fall from the upper left-hand corner to the the lower right-hand corner). In ILP the sense of most, but not all, Lightroom controls invert. Proficiency in ILP requires patience and experimentation, but the results can reveal extraordinary imagery hidden in otherwise lackluster exposures.
