I thought this one would nicely accompany the theme of Autumn which is running for the monthly competition

Interpret 'Nature's Abstract' as you will, could be a macro leaf pattern, or the vast plough lines of a field
... just get out there and do your thing :D



Rules

None really, but if you're submitting a photo, please comment on 2 other photos in the the thread, one of which should be the one preceeding your post .....Unless you're the first person posting of course. ;)
 
OK here's one to kick off with then.......

Toothie: That makes me itch just looking at it!! :) Bit OOF but nice shot.
Grendel: Lovely pic, not sure I want to be reminded of winter quite yet! Love the contrast in colours.

Taken this morning in the parks rose garden...nice and dewey!!!

Toothie, good shot. I think you can get some really interesting things with the whispy stuff :)
Antihero, I love this shot. I think the yellow of the rose is amazing, and the dew makes it feel cold!! :| The shadows which are cast due to the sunlight only adds to the effect. :)

So I thought I'd give it a shot here.....

i think its fascinating what nature can do with rocks andwater and i personally love the spider web :D i posted my rose on the forum by accident so i thought id post it here and deleate it from there :P

I think it could do with the levels being adjusted, it looks a bit over exposed and lacking in punch. It might be an idea to crop in a bit and lose the green backround which will focus the attention on the petals.


Here is my offering....

Found one that may qualify as abstract.:)

LadyP, that's my idea of abstract, would look good in B&W too.

Hacker, perfect.:thumbs:

Damn... having scoured my hard drive, I'm not sure I have anything which really suits the theme, but you surely can't expect people to get the camera out and ....and go and shoot something? :eek:

Anyway I offer you this one I called 'Surfer' .... clever huh? :naughty:

Colin - lovely shot - can't really fault it at all. :thumbs:

Susane - that reflected geometric shape is great. The shot just lacks a bit of interest on the lower right?
 
CT - Nice deep colours, the border puts me off a little though.

Hacker - Very nice, I like it a lot. Like 18 tiny little mirrors pointing back at you. Good job.

My offering....

Twisted_Trees_by_syeuk2002.jpg


I like it a lot. The twisted trees have kind of a magical/fantasy feel to them. Like a mythical creature's grotto.

Thanks for looking

Simon
:)
 
antihero Love that yellow rose :thumbs:
syeuk2002 Lovely subject, although seems very bright.

Below is my offering; Nature taking its course on an old wooden barge.

Byrhtnoth: Interesting spin on nature! Nice capture - looks a little dark around the 'ribs' on my monitor - but I'm just being picky I think!


Syeuk2002 Nicely seen and taken - like the colours and sweep of the two trees

Here's my attempt - heavily cropped and processed for effect!

Byrhtnoth: Good example of nature creating abstracts rather than a naturally occuring one - great shot :thumbs:

Dark Star: The cropping of this one is very effective for the theme - lovely colours :clap:

My attempt - an abstract that occurs at most sunsets up here and is constantly changing

This thread does not seem to be attracting much interest ..... so thought I would try another one :shrug:

Abstract-tree.jpg
 
Nettie, I love the bark one, nice mix of colours.
Darkstar, very nice, I love the colours and the detail on this.

Here is my addition

wow Hacker i love that :thumbs:
 
I'm absolutely brand new and I don't know whether this post will even work - or indeed whether I'm too late for this theme!
Here goes anyway.........
 
Oh dear. No photo. Help!
 


Second attempt...
 
Ok, at least it's a photo, although it's very small!!
Kept getting a message saying my file size was too big, so I've reduced it 3 times before I could post it.

ANYHOW....if it's not too late for the nature's abstract theme, any constructive criticism would be gratefully received
 
nice compliment of colours there melanie, well spotted. Here's my attempt at abstract.
Prunus Serula bark, cracking tree..

Time for a new Assignment?
:)

How about fireworks or halloween?
I'm sure most of us will try to get some firework shots.
