    Beading Light

    I've been getting into some super close abstraction lately.
    Any thoughts on this image?

    It definitely fits into the abstract category... the first thing that popped in my head when I saw it was "What is it?" Very eye-catching.
    Befriending the friendless
    Bringing odor to the odorless
    Faith to the doubtful
    Doubt to the faithfull
    Clothing the sick and
    Laying my healing hands upon the naked

    Very interesting composition. I like it a lot.

    It looks to me as if it is water running over glass with some jel or oil on there to make it run in streams with a red light under the glass. Whatever it is it looks good.

    Thanks for the comments.
    Readingr you're pretty much on the money. Only I wish it was gel I had applied to the glass. Actually it's condensation. Gets pretty cold up here and 40 year old windows tend not to hold the cold at bay too well. The colours are christmas lights on a bush outside the window.
    Here's another shot I took at the same time. I used my 70-200 2.8 with two extension tubes.

    I like this one too. You have a good eye for a photo
