Color. Curves. Soft Focus. Texture. Astracts

This last abstract challenge was great :thumb Really found some outstanding works there.

These were part of my effort to find a decent one for myself. Thought I'd post them and see if any were the right stuff ball park as far as your thinking goes.

    They are all attractive in their own way - they make a nice series.... but I think #3 is the strongest because of the bold, pleasing, diagonal lines. Nice work!
    Clear skies now, but no comet yet. :cry

    Very nice, Michael. You've always had a good eye for this kind of stuff. I particularly like #2 and #3.
    Both of those make an old color freak like me really come alive.thumb.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thank you for your take on this grouping Eric :D Am grateful to get it

    Best I have heard from around the place none are seeing PanStarrs up our way yet. Here is one of 2 on

    Right from your very neck of the woods.

    Did I mention image 2 is one of the candy workups. I used a magnifying glass in front of the lens. Never fails to distort things in curious ways. A good tool on the light table.

    Thanks Tom :D
    I do work fairly hard for interesting abstract visuals and sometimes they actually are rolleyes1.gif
    Here the last one is my least favored and I really like the charm and warms I get out of 1. Ultimately I
    think soft focus for abstracts is touchy business in getting a suitable player.

    I imagine colorful forks will take you to the top of color mountain. That one is seriously hot! Total game winner for it.

    Thanks much Mary K for looking these over and giving them some consideration. You know I appreciate you and everyone for taking the time. I'd be in trouble without all the help. I may have an eye for this kind of thing but nothing is better than getting assistance for what really works.
    Must be that I enjoy abstracts so much, from all around, that I can't easily be discerning when I am in the middle of having fun with them.
