I like the different light and sharpness contrasted. It really draws your eyes to the center. Fall colors too.

Bill - Really like the texture and the micro details here. It would have been tough to assume that this was Bird of Paradise Flower.

Strong soft/sharp contrasts within the gorgeous yellow and orange display, Bill. You really do have a way with Bird of Paradise abstracts !!

I don't know why, but the sharp edge and general shape/comp makes me think of a pair of scissors..
So that makes this abstract a cut above

Well done Bill!

Beautiful, subtle lines in this image. The point of focus is just right. I like the way the small shadow in the lower right corner seems to balance the shadow in the upper left corner.
