I thought A. Then I enlarged them and preferred B (apart from the slightly distracting blob in the bottom middle).

Then I saw fish n chips mmm.

Ahh.. The Blob. I noticed that as well, tried to tweak away during painting .  But would of ruined it IMO if I fiddled.

Thanks for the comment.

What about either image upside down ??

It's option D for me.

B, it has a sense of movement missing from A. I see a a swirling swarm of photons in the form of a cosmic bird of prey about to sweep across the surface of the earth incinerating all life and leaving nothing but a smouldering rock. But maybe I just need a change of medication!

Option E - Do another one with no curvature to the pattern and stick it in the middle as a triptych.

What happened to Event Horizon I ?

Were they made using the same materials as the guy on Who Is America?

B, for me. A is too busy, B reminds me of seeing the Milky Way on a clear night with no street lights about.

This is art, you don't start at 1 that would be far to conventional.

The bane of my life when I used to be a gallery technician was artists who couldn't decide which way up their work should hang.

"Hmmmm well what do you think?"

"I think typically the signature goes in the bottom corner"

.

.

.

"hmmmmm"

.

.

.

"hmmmmm"

"You realise we've got 40 more of these to hang"

B.  It evokes some sort of feeling.  As art should.

B - Not sure why but it looks more pleasing to me.

B: The distribution feels more banded as if it's representative of something whereas on A the heavy areas appear to be randomly across the image so it lacks focus. But agree about the blob on the bottom of B, it has to go.

I like the B blob.  It provides a visual counterpoint.

It could be interpreted as a phinger phocused on the phat phannied phoenix phlying above.

B, because it has one main horizontal splurge, so my eye rests their naturally.

A has the main lower splurge, with an accompanying smaller splurge towards the top. My eye darts between them, but there's no real focus point.

Would be nice if B could be cropped though to keep the aspect ratio, but remove the blob on the lower edge. I'd crop to remove lower edge & left-hand side, just enough to remove the blob.

Secretly hoping for the Singletrack photoshoppists to take over this thread.....

A looks like you are inside the swirling maelstrom

I'll buy them both if you go for more esoteric Damien Hirst style titles like "She Sat Alone With Her Thoughts, Wondering Aloud as to how Her Beautiful Face Came to Resemble a Plasterers Radio (1 and 11)

Yes but I prefer my sense of doom to be impending rather than ocuuring

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

Looks like B is the clear favourite 🙂 "Event Horizon III"

You mentioned "Milky Way" that was what I was originally going to call them.

@binners

Just changed the title.

"I’ll buy them both if you go for more esoteric Damien Hirst style titles like “She Sat Alone With Her Thoughts, Wondering Aloud as to how Her Beautiful Face Came to Resemble a Plasterers Radio (1 and 11)"

Once again. Thanks for all the comments and tweaks 🙂

I also want to see A upside down. Feeling too lazy to do it myself.
