Timely shot for the WC, David. Good use of the opportunity. Very nice colors and pattern. The bright green on the right really adds a nice pop of color.

Nicely done, David. I might construct the image with the 2 left stripes and turn it clockwise 90 degrees.

Yes, David, very much an abstract painting look that is quite striking.  You're emphasis on the two bright and colorful streaks looks good.  Have you tried rotated or flipped views?

I have not rotated or flipped but I do have some portrait crops that remain to be processed.

Good eye to see this!  The green strip adds punch to the image, I think without it might come across as dull.  Thanks for sharing.  I like it lots.

Ohhh, do I love tree bark for abstracts!! Hi, David. This is gorgeous, elegantly simple and nicely abstract.

I really like the colors and texture in your photo.  I like the vertical presentation as it follows the grain of the wood and the color patterns.

A very cool bark abstract, David.  I like the lines and curves as well as the accents created by the green areas.
