Description Just time for one more submission, then I'm away for a few days.

I fancied this had a look of a rather messy sketch of a penny-farthing, as Leonardo might have produced in a more whimsical moment...

Wonderful, makes me think of an old decayed leaf blowing in the breeze.

Thanks! Someone else spotted the leaf look, and I'd missed it - I'm now seeing it in a new light

Well, I really like that interpretation of it - I think it was there waiting to be discovered It's a long time since I've seen leaves like that, but I know just what you mean. And there's nothing quite like a crazy weekend to get some interesting tangential thoughts...

My oh my! This is stunning! One of the best I've seen from you I do believe! The title is perfect as well! This should be the national poster for recycling or something

Thanks Tim! I must say that I'm particularly pleased with this one as well I do like the idea of using it as a poster campaign too...

Incredible! on small view I saw a perfectly formed antique bike/cycle with the big wheel... Still see it in full view but see much more than that as well. Lovely!!

Thank you, my dear I agree that this is one of the rare ones that actually does show a sufficiency of itself in the thumbnail

Yes looks like an ancient scetchy graphic. I love this effect. Great color scheme !

Thanks! The colour scheme was one of those 'happy accidents', in which a switch of background from dark to light suddenly brought the whole thing to life

This one is truly fantastic. I love it. Looks very much like ink on wet watercolor paper.

Thanks for that, and the and I developed a different method of anti-aliasing for this one, and it sounds like it's paid off! Normally, I just reduce by a factor of 2, but there was still some stepping, so I divided the reduction into 3 steps: it helps to get that slightly softer look...
