Obviously not an abstract but the source of the abstract series. Taken in my bathroom "studio" with natural window light and a dark towel as the BG. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill:
This is a masterful group portrait! Love the fresh vibrant colors against the black bg. The clear vase showing all the stems and refraction is really interesting. Wish for slightly more canvas on the left to balance out the right.

Beautiful colors, light, clarity, textures. The glass vase is wonderful.

Bill, I see an abstract in the base of the vase. Those stems in glass are great. I also see that the left most Tulip saying: pick me, pick me, for the abstract series. Many messages here.

Gorgeous light and your typical strong composition Bill. The flowers are beautiful of course but the stems in the vase add a lot of interest for me. Beautiful image.

Great to see the culprits in full view, Bill !! They've bunched beautifully, with the errant leaf and flower making this a really attractive image.

Such a beautiful bunch! Your towels have less lint than mine

I love the one leaf down. Well done!
