Out to dinner with friends before taking the abstract photo, I captured this not-all-together-flattering picture of a lovely long-time friend across the table from me. For this purpose, I thought it was absolutely what I'd want to create an image of a woman, far-away in thought...
Kali, thank you for nudging me to take an abstract as it gave me another tool with which to create something more to my liking!
This is lovely, actually classy. I immediately thought of Doris Day and the silk fabric the movie photographers put over their lenses to soften her face!
@kali66 Just what I was going for, and happy to have taken this photo of my friend only last night...not a picture she'd especially like, but I thought it was suited to what I was after, here! Thanks! I appreciate the push this gave me!
