    Naturally Abstract

    Care to join me in investigating the abstract side of life?

    I would love to see what you talented folks can come up with. No rules (well, except being nature related ). Hope it might inspire you to go out and look at things a little differently.

    Hope to see you

    Re: Naturally Abstract

    Here are three that may qualify for this thread. I think one or two from my post earlier today may have qualified as well.

    Re: Naturally Abstract

    Thanks for playing along!

    Really awesome and inspirational examples there OT and AE :thumbsup:


    Here are some from the past. Not really as "abstract" as I would have liked (except perhaps the last one). I've been thinking about this topic for several months and I'm having difficulty coming up with an image that has that "ooooh-factor" but yet cannot be identified. I'm nearly 100% convinced that this requires a macro approach - but I'm looking hard elsewhere.

    Anyway, after these images, I'll post only new stuff so as to keep my quest alive within me. Thanks again.

    I originally thought it was a morel mushroom. Or at least the gills of a more common mushroom.


    Some of these other recent entries have me scared to make a guess. Might get me in trouble

    Thanks Loupey! I think that was some of the first actual work I did with RAW files.

    Re: Naturally Abstract

    Ok I'll take a stab at it.

    I liked the way the latice crosses in the BG on this one. The bee came into the shot as I took it so it was a nice surprise even though it was behind the DOF of the flower
