My abstracts are almost always created from a single image, of an organic object out in the natural world. But showing the whole object can be problematic, as it will never fill a retangular (or square) FOV without cropping, which has its own problems. Sometimes placing an irregular object in a black or white field will work; other times that approach is not satisfactory.So I developed a method to combine the 'interesting' parts of two different images, which I will call 'melding' (apologies to Star Trek), to get a square or rectangular image.
Here's an example. These images are so detailed that I am showing both the full image, down-rezzed, and a 100% crop,.
