Old and New Attempts

Realizing I showed some of my Photofiltre images in the wrong thread, I repost them here in a new one.
A short introduction – I’m Dutch, male. English and Dutch teacher.
I can read and understand French quite well; however, I would make too many mistakes writing it – therefore, I’ll just stick to English.
As a hobby, I used to make collages of cut-out and painted scraps of paper. In this I was inspired by Matisse, of course.
When I discovered Photofiltre I was quick to grasp the programme would enable me to do more or less the same digitally.
My method: for me, the content of the photographic material is less important. I roughly cut up a couple of pictures at random, and assemble the pieces into a new composition. Usually, the new creation does not at all refer to the original photos.
It’s hard work. That’s part of the fun, though. It takes many hours for me to make a composition. As a rule, I’ll feel insecure about the results after finishing it. Well, I keep on trying.
Some examples of my non-digital products –
A tulip, yes!
Birds
Lady with the white hand
And photofiltre manipulations:
m40
– based on a portrait of an internet acquaintance of mine. You’ll understand I cannot show the original for reasons of privacy.
Dancers
I used an old creation for this one, and combined it with pictures found in one of Grzimek’s animal encyclopedias and a photo taken of a birch in my front yard.
Wandering through the threads, I think the wonderful creations of many, many members will give me lots of inspiration!
