The agave plants in the Anza Borrego desert intrigue me with their shape, texture, and subtle colors. In this image, I accented the edges of the plant, toned down the shadows, and pushed the colors with a LAB curve layer.

Does this work for you as a bit of semi-abstract art?

Technical Details
Is this a composite: No
1/100 f/18 84mm Canon 5DIII EF 24-105 f/4L.
Tripod with the camera on post inserted horizontally, pointed down.
Low angle side light makes the edges of the plant stand out. I like the fine texture and subdued colors. I’ve never heard of LAB curve layer. What’s the effect?
Dick: I really like the light here. I also like the little snippets of red on the tips. A touch more contrast and vibrance would suit me a little better or you could go B&W. I’m a color junkie so I prefer the color choice. Well seen, captured and presented. >=))>
