Nice, moody, imagry, .

  I understand the unpredictable part. About a week after I suggested that
I spent a couple of hours trying to merge various HF's and who knows how
many different texture variations. The harder I worked the farther I got
away from the results I wanted. Your image almost comes off looking like
drift snow on an arctic ice pack. Since a lot of your work is surrealistic
in nature anyway artistic license wins out in your favour.
