Abstract August 5

Well it has been decreed by husband and son that my abstract photos - of which I am collecting a great many - are not really abstract enough. I'm going to ignore them, and post some of them anyway, but today, I will test how abstract this is by not letting you know what it is. Does anyone know?

[Jorlam]

Helen, i've no idea but i do like the textures and patterns.. some of the object looks wet too. love the composition and the detail..
Keep posting them Helen, please.. :-)

[Suzanne]

I too have no clue what this is, It's an interesting image that has got me pondering. Please do tell us eventually what it is though!

[Shy Abel]

nice patters! great shot

[HelenM]

I also have no idea. Something in a plastic blister pack?

[Catherine Otley]

Really liking this Abstract theme. Gives us eye candy and mental exercise trying to figure out what they are!

[Helen Jane]

@jorlam @suzanne234 @shylaine3304 @helenm2016 @redandwhite thank you for your interest - I will let you know tomorrow, what this is. Meanwhile, back here, the discussion about what is abstract continues apace. Apparently, this passes the test!

[Babs]

Great shot. No idea what it is, but it definitely passes for abstract.

[Taffy]

Definitely an abstract and an intriguing one at that!

[Kathy A]

That certainly looks abstract to me

[belinda]

I would consider this abstract. Looks like a sea creature

[Marloes]

Wow, you've made an abstract here, alright! Puzzling, puzzling: sunflower? No. Ropes? No. Patterns in the sand? Could be? Is that white snow or just patches of sunlight!? Snow I would say. No idea! Very intriguing :-) I'm impatiently waiting for you to set me free, tomorrow ;-)

[Junko Y]

fossilized sunflower?

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Beach glistening in the sun after the tide has receded???? makes a lovely abstract

[Helen Jane]

@jorlam @suzanne234 @shylaine3304 @helenm2016 @redandwhite @onewing @taffy @kjarn @adayinmallacoota @stimuloog @jyokota @ziggy77 Well this is unanimously abstract. Thank you for playing along and guessing. It is, in fact, an up close and personal shot of a slug.

[Suzanne]

Blimey, I would never have guessed that. Definitely abstract

[Marloes]

I had to look that word up. Never have guessed it could be a slug. Wow! Well done, Helen! I'm looking forward to the next puzzling pic :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, I would never have guessed that it was a slug. I think I'll go on thinking it's a sunflower because I do not like those gooey creatures! (o:

[Junko Y]

@helenhall -- a slug ????? I would never have guessed.

[Chris K]

I had to come back and give this one a fav. Amazing closeup.. I would never have guessed a slug in a million years!

[HelenM]

Ah, now I know what the shiny film is. Very unexpected.

[Gayle]

Well, this is definitely abstract to me. I never would have guessed a slug! Fantastic close-up with terrific patterns! :-)
