Guess that little flower has a good irrigation lawyer. :wink: The various sizes of cracks are great and the overall blue tone adds further to the sense of abstraction. Well seen, Gary.

I do like the patterns and overall blue cast, but the inner parts of the flower are a bit dark, at least on my display.

Gary, love the abstract patterns and the little plant too. I could maybe go either way on the blue cast. Looks fine here, but I'm dying to see what it might look like without it too..... :wink:
Very fine abstract..... :cool:

Great lead in Gary :smile:
I like this abstract as posted..
The tiny flower group (they must have water rights) :wink: anchors the frame, adds interest, & ties in with this pervasive blue cast.

Really nice, Gary. The pattern is great as is the detail, and the flower is well positioned. I love these kind of images.

Have to ask about the blue cast? I guess I'd like to see less blue and maybe a bit brighter, but that's subjective and I don't know for sure without seeing a comparison.

Gary,,,,the textures and patterns here are wonderful. The comp isn't singing to me, but that is always subjective. The placement of the plant combined with the darkness of the lower right corner feels much heavier and makes the frame seem unbalanced. Just my two cents and we know what that'll buy you. :wink:

Gary, a well deserved WP selection from last weeks WC gallery. An excellent image that worked perfectly for the theme of "abstracts". :toast:
