GP, thanks for the comment and twist. Yes I tried that one too before... I certainly dont mind and its my pleasure to see the master of digital playing on my image. Thanks for doing that.
On the new twist, funnly, now my eyes settle on the warm side and the cold side. In my mind, rather than the warm and cold, its more straight and non-straight... I like to see the straight side of me more I think... I dont know its good or bad...
Thanks again.
Elangs.

I think this is a terrific piece of work, Elangs. Creative and beautifully rendered, thought provoking and original... Great job. Just as an experiment, I flipped it to see how the reaction might be with the brown toned one up top (and the diagonal line going from bottom left to upper right). I am sure you have already played with flipping this around, but I was just curious... Hope you don't mind ;-)

Great image! I cannot comprehend the whole technical process though, I feel pholosophical impression from it.

Beautiful work, Elangs -- so wonderful to see what different poeple do when they start fooling around and being brave. I think people are feeling drawn to the upside-down figure more because the eye quite naturally passes over a thing it recognizes, and spends more time on a thing that's not already in the brain's memory banks. Face/not face.
Anyway, I think this is just lovely, looks like it's installed on a wall already, and looks darned good there!

The presentation of this really makes me look harder into the image. I see it as if it were already hanging on a wall, shadows complete. Very unique and creative, Elangovan.
I too, rest on the brown tinted image more that the blue... not sure why! Weird how that happens!
All the best in your cross-processing adventure!

it is a question - is there a right answer? - is the answer a question - it is a riddle - and it goes with the photo titled question that I posted a while back... :)

Thanks for the explanation :-) Yes, it makes sense. I guess I thought that 'Me not me II' signified only that this is a rework of the first 'Me not me' image, and I failed to look deeper into its meaning.

It is interesting I too was drawn to the brown toned image more than the blue-toned image - maybe our eyes prefer resting on a warmer tone as opposed to a bluer tone? I don't know...
The only other detail that I will comment on is the correspondance you lined the two images up very well.

Matej, Thanks for the great commentry on this image. I was looking and reading thru some of the alternative process printing technologies. They really inspired me. I m sure some day I would like to try them and create a superlative (!!) images... dont laugh! *smile*. Especially the cyanotype technique... Oh Boy... I really love that stuff. (just in case if you like to check it out http://www.alternativephotography.com/process.html.)
My problem is, I never done any printing process so far, and I m not sure I will ever do it. (Need to search for any labs would do that for me!! *grin*).
Now, back to the image... You are right, One is that I just to play with this image and the title... me inverse me = me NOT me, right? Computer geeks!!! lol! And I like the blue tones and dont like brown color in particular... "Me" in blue and "NOT ME" in brown. Well... some of my thoughts.
More over, I wonder... How many images that I am gonna make with this original "Random thoughts" image. BTW, I have to redo that "random thoughts" image itself. Thinking... When I load b&w in my camera!!! hmmm... sigh!
Elangs.

The double exposure with the bark works well, as it did in the previous image. I like the lighting and the tone of the left image, in the right image the highlights are slightly distracting.
What I don't understand is the composition/presentation. The two images are already 'separated' by the different tones and the vertical shift - inverting the right image as well was a bit of an overkill.
I don't know whether it is the brown tone or the highlight or indeed the inversion, but my eyes are drawn to the inverted image. Which is a strange experience, because looking at the left image is much easier, in the sense that I understand what it's about; whereas the right image, being inverted, is very unnatural and I would say confusing. Maybe confusing the viewer is what you were after?
