Default Just a Hint

I tend to go thru mini-phases in my photography. Some times, I'm quite traditional. Other times, not so much.

For this one, I was playing around, just to see what might be produced. It's clearly non-traditional. Maybe it's a partial abstract?

Thanks for looking.

Interesting...and fun to play around...haven't quite got to that stage myself, but I think it's quite an interesting shot.

Thanks for the comments, Leona.

Experimenting is fun. Maybe give it a try some time?

Chip, I'd say you pulled it off. A well done abstract, it looks like it could have been painted by one of the masters.

I like it. Really nice colors. If people didn't think outside the box we wouldn't have masters like Ansel Adams, etc.

Dear Chip,

"What is it?" (Don't tell me, p-l-e-a-s-e!) No surprise to loving the colors. What I really like is the sense of movement achieved in the light and dark lines, especially where they converge.

Very truly yours,

A Big Fan
(but going to Jazzercise so I can be a medium-sized fan)

Thanks very much, Mike. Good to know I haven't (yet) gone off the deep end.

Lindy - My secret is safe with me. And thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked the colors and the sense of movement.

As for Jazzercise. Too funny!

kym - Very pleased that you liked it. I guess it is more abstract than I initially thought. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Thanks for the feedback.

Very nice abstract. I really can't determine what it is. Looks like a painting.
