Very well seen Gary. Looks like the top of a railway system to me. I don't think there are enough meanders for rivers but I'd certainly buy this as roads or railroads. Makes me want to find out what the veinous system in a leaf does. Intriguing image and I like the pov, dof and composition a lot.

There are a lot of things to see walking on the red radial streets of this fairy place. An almost abstract natural photo; and beautiful!
Take care.

Gary, cool idea. I'm currently playing around with solarization and I think this lily pad might be a great candidate.

Onward to new ideas LOL

This is great Gary I can't believe how blood red the veins are.

Fascinating.....I've never seen lily pads like this before. Probably won't see too many frogs sitting on this one.

I didn't see this until it got down on the list, but I wanted to tell you that this is a very cool perspective and interpretation of these leaves. Metaphorically and artisticly perfect Gary
