Motorcycle Abstracts

It amazes me what one can make of a mundane subject. I went out to find a topic for today and saw our neighbour and he had his machine standing on his driveway. I asked if I could photograph it close up. He was only too pleased. He even moved it to a more better angle for me. It is a 1000cc machine capable of 150mph. Anyway I took just 5 pictures. Then came home and played with them for a time. I especially liked the kaleidoscope blended versions [5, 6, 7 and 10]. I found that you need to boost the unsharp mask up to 250% to bring out fine details.

I have left some of the images as taken. Can you work out which of the other images started out like these?
