Peter,

It is the underside of a leaf from a very young beech tree (planted this year).

Can anyone identify what insect (presumably) these will turn into :

Back to being serious, you could try a product called 'Sticky Stuff Remover'.

You could try a Rusty Nail

An alternative version :-

Less contrast, no filters and not so abstract.

The photograph is of the bow of a motor gun boat (MGB 81) taken exactly straight on, at water level from an inflatable dinghy.

Here is a link to more information about MGB 81 :-

Thank you all for your comments.

I shall try to find the time to have another go at it (spending some time on it rather than the original rush job).

I will also post a link to a larger version, when I find that elusive time

Dan,

You are right, I did use a filter of some description but I can't remember which one, hence I used the phrase "the application of a bit of tone"

The original is just two tone camouflage grey (to match the usual colour of the English Channel) so the filter applied seemed to fit in with the camouflage theme.

Mike,

Thanks for the comments.

I will post a link when I am home.

The only effects that have been applied are conversion to black and white (although the original is grey and grey), tweaking of the contrast and the application of a bit of tone.

The rest is as taken at water level (apart from cropping) with the various diagonals and horizontals all as designed during the second world war.

I take your point about the size but hopefully most people can visualise it as a large poster

My work monitor is 24" which is quite handy on occasions.
