I have sold a number of them. They come in different colors and look lighter than on the Gallery site and of course with more detail. The only one I have currently in stock is first one below. The image is almost square at 8" x 9"

The square format of this image works pretty well for me (not sure if it's
because I've been shooting 6x6 a lot lately), but the wild color throws me
off. Had this been one segment of a 2x2 array (for example) of vividly
recolored images following a theme, my appreciation may be a little warmer.
Taken out of context as a stand-alone image, though, it seems a bit too
over-the-top, along the same lines as the "through-the-warp" scenes in
Kubrick's "2001"; those special effects were beyond compare and received
widespread acclaim in the '60s, and may well be as much an achievement
today, but to me the image falls short due to overtreatment. I would
probably prefer the original version to this; our personal tastes obviously
differ, which isn't in and of itself a bad thing.
