Natural Light

I was thinking abstract but this probably doesn't quite make it. Tell me what you think. I am thrilled that it is SOOC though

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Now that the pics open so large, I can no longer see who shot the pic...I just saw this WONDERFUL pic and was like "okay...scrolling down to see who took this winner." and it was YOU!. I do not think of it as abstract, but we will see what others say. Fav

[katy]

@espyetta LOL! Glad I could surprise you! Wonderful? thanks ! thanks for the FAv too!

[katy]

Did you see Daryl might be coming to see me?

[Meg]

I wouldn't call it abstract, but it is really appealing with the black shade and darkness and then the cross in silver...really good.

[Leana Niemand]

Love this Katy, beautiful light and shades.

[Marc]

Really lovely - I like what this month is doing to our pics, even if not abstract!

[Françoise]

The first thing that caught my eye in this was the silver 'cross' of the lamp stand. Beautiful.

[Call me Joe]

Wonderful capture !

[Rick Schies]

Great shadow

[Jo Henn]

Terrific capture.

[Jo Ann Bellone]

beautiful lighting

[Claire]

Yes but what is abstract, if it is abstract to the person taking the shot it fits. That is my rule! I like it like Jo Ann's unintentional pun too

[Gillian]

I'm not sure about the abstract, but I like the shadow.

[Laurie]

Love the moodiness of this! The shadows are awesome and I love the way the light hits the metal bas of the lamp. Really nicely done!!

[judith deacon]

Not sure if it could be called truly abstract but it certainly has the wow factor for atmosphere and composition...fav

[J. Voorberg]

like the simplicity....rather film-noir like.....

[katy]

@jayberg I was trying to figure why it appealed to me! you nailed it I think!

[katy]

@judithdeacon I really appreciate that Judith especially tha FAV ! Thanks so much!

[katy]

@luvmynynix Ah, Laurie, I always appreciate your kind words! Thanks a bunch.

[katy]

@kwiksilver Thanks, Gillian that is what caught my eye at first too.

[katy]

@claireuk I think I was hoping it to be abstract but once uploaded I realized it really isn't I don't care i like it anyway. Thanks for the brillian support, Claire! ;~}

[katy]

@jolefont Thanks! Funny you should say lighting for this shot of the light! ;~}

[katy]

@johenn I am glad you like it!

[katy]

@digitalrn That is what caught my eye at first, Rick! Thanks.

[katy]

@joemuli Always thrilled by a visit and positive comment from you, Joey! You have such a creative eye!

[katy]

@kiwiflora That makes me glad I decided to keep it in the shot, Françoise. I contemplated cropping it out Thanks!

[katy]

@jmrittle Thanks so much, Marc. It is really forcing me to look differently at things. I had lost some of that freshness over time i think!

[katy]

@leananiemand Your photos are always so good, Leana that I really appreciate the positive comments from you.

[Diane]

I'm like the others--not sure it's an abstract (except I couldn't define abstract if you asked me...) but it's w wonderful moody shot.

[katy]

@eudora Usually an abstract is something that is difficlut to identify so this probably is not one but I still liked the shapes and content of it. Thanks for you kind words.

[Peter de Graaff]

Almost religious. Very stark

[katy]

Thanks , Peter for stopping by and taking the time to comment! Thanks too for the FAV on my Spiced shot!. I really like the series you arfe working on right now. Hoping all is well with you and your family.

[Darlene]

I would not call it abstract but very cool. Love the lamp and the shadow from it on the wall and the larger shadow to the left. FAV

[katy]

@darsphotos i don't know how to thank you for all that, Darlene! I really appreciate it!

[mag]

professionally done....LOVE IT....

[Marilyn Wigen]

I would not call this abstract, either, but I would call it wonderful!

[katy]

@maggotx Wow! i can't tell yo how much that means Mag! thanks!

[katy]

@marilyn I agree it would have been a stretch but I aappreciate the wonderful comment! thanks!

[Vee]

Beautiful tones on this...I think that if you cropped the base of the lamp out, it would be very abstract as it would focus on the shape and lines rather than it's function and use.

[katy]

@vskolnik Thanks Vee and you are so right. The problem is that now that I have seen it like this I like it more than I want it to be abstract. A good lesson learned for the future though. You do such a fabulous job with yours.
