2nd attempt at Abstract~Did I get focus this time?

[mc1979]

Carrying this over from my thread yesterday. This is basically another attempt to get better focus, since that was the big issue yesterday. I think I got it this time! This crop is different, and colors are a little different. Let me know what you think!

This is a fine abstract - close, good composition, and nice balance.

Thanks all!! Bitter, I used the self timer, definitely made the difference! Checked out your Flickr too, awesome work!
I can't wait to do more and get better! This is definitely more fun than trying to get a kid to sit still for 5 seconds! Ha! Still learning more about Abstract. I never really have studied art, just appreciated it!

Thanks Mel!

Abstract art relies heavily on composition, so study up! I find it's a great way to learn the theories of composition and apply them without worrying about your subjects wandering off!

Another benefit is abstract compositions can be found all around you, wherever you are, at whatever time.
