Abstract Attempt Number Two

[sm4him]

This is based on the same photo as the one in the other thread I just posted, here: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-gallery/288386-warning-amateur-inspired-mishele.html

But I wanted to give this one its own thread, because I'm specifically interested in the opinions of those who understand and appreciate Abstracts.

Opinions by yahoos who know nothing about abstract (like me!) are welcome to join in too, though.

LOL guess I'm not the only one excited to try out some new techniques

Love the lines and colors in this. The blue in the bottem left is just so rich.

Great comp. w/ the lines leading my eye through the shot!! That blue is awesome!! Crazy saturation or true to life color? Either way I like it.

Nice image. I too love the color in this one.

Thanks, all--good to know I'm evidently on the right track here. I knew *I* liked it!

No saturation in post; this was actually a morning glory that was still curled up, so it was essentially like several blue layers on top of each other, and I think that's what makes it look so super-saturated.

This works well as an abstract. I think it might be even better if you make it a little more abstract by cloning out some detail like little spots that are lighter or darker than the surrounding area.
