Taken with Floris back in October on that annual nature photography day. The geometric designs coupled with the splatter of white in the upper left corner really drew me to the scene. The different lines/textures/shapes were so diverse, yet so nicely arranged.

Thanks for any input.

Sumptuous, Ben. There is an assymetric balance here that is working perfectly. This would look great printed big and hanging a wall. (Do you see a dog/horse head?)

Haha, yes I see the horse head. Dan pointed that out! I was bummed after he said it though, because now that is all I see! Not sure if that ruins it for me or not..

Interesting how you did not see the horse, but now you are transfixed on it. I wonder if you did see it but not know it until pointed out. Overall I think it is an interesting photo with a nice color palete.

Wonderful color and lines Ben. I like the composition as well. Now that Tony mentioned it I see the horse head too which makes it an even better abstract.

Excellent abstract. A wonderful mix of diagonal lines, color, and texture.

The horse head is part of why I like it.

Well seen Ben, you did a very fine job at balancing the variety of shapes and colors. Nice natural processing too.

Excellent composition Ben, well balanced with a beautiful palette. Didn't see the horse head until after I read the others comments, now it jumps out at me.

very nice nature abstract, benjamin. great lines and textures. man, I was looking to Tony´s comment, at first I haden´t figured it out but then it came to me(the head of a horse)impressive. I like the natural look of this a lot. nice work.

I really like the interactions of the lines and the beautiful and natural colours. Nicely seen and photographed.
