Very cool! Love the colours and implied action -
This is really sweet, Don. The colors work well together and the motion was just enough to make it look like a jungle.
Sandy and Dennis, thanks. It’s odd but I like it.
Don,
Just love the colors here; subtle, yet deep and rich. Such a pleasing combination of colors - and shapes, lines.
I have no nits or suggestions for “fix” anything. The only subjective suggestion I have might be to slightly crop EITHER the left side, or the right side. I only suggest that because you have two different plants and subsequent shapes/colors, but they have nearly equal weight and so my eye (brain) can’t decide which part is the main subject. (But then again, do abtracts require a main subject or focal point? perhaps not.) But I do find myself flipping back and forth between the two shapes/plants. Very minor though. I’m thoroughly enjoying this one!
ps. You’ve inspired me to spend more time in my backyard - this morning with a 90mm macro and some ICM attempts… fun! succulents, Dahlias, etc.
