Leaf Structure

Close up of a Bird of Paradise leaf backlit by the sun.

Another for the Flash of Red 2018 with the emphasis this time on lines, repetitions and structure.

Also for the Macro challenge.

Fabulous patterns!

[LTaylor]

good work

[HelenM]

Superb! How like a brick wall, the structure of the blocks. They wouldn’t be the individual cells would they?

[Catherine Otley]

I love it! Works great as an abstract!

[Hydee]

Wow the detail is amazing! I love this. What a wonderful macro.

[FBailey]

@helenm2016 It's the veins in the leaves Helen - isn't it so regimented and orderly!

[Candace]

Wow, at first glance I thought I was looking at tile!

[Sylvia Binch]

Well spotted. I wouldn't have a clue what this was. such a wonderful pattern.

[Casablanca]

Izzy wizzy makes me dizzy! You've been inspiring me to add a few black and white images, though I am fairly late in the day for flash of red! But it's interesting to try.

That is such an interesting shot - I would never have guessed it was a leaf. Amazing what macro photography brings out

[Mandy]

Wow - there is so much detail and so many shapes to count. I like how you have angled it. Great one if I cannot sleep. Much better than sheep - least they won't move! Fab on black.

That's intriguing, I was going to ask how you had done it - then had the bright idea of reading the comments...now I know.
