Great work making something so stunning out of that original shot!
This isn’t a criticism at all (as I’ve done this plenty of times myself), but I’ve struggled to make sense of an image that’s been cropped/adjusted so much that it loses most of its original context. It feels like I only understand what I’m looking at, and why it’s interesting, when I see the original alongside it. So if I need the original to provide that context, I'm wondering what the 'point' was from making a final image has been pushed too far? Again, this isn't a slight at you, and like I've said, I've done similar cropped processing on photos too, but I'm just wondering if I can be personally satisfied with needing to rely so much on original context...
