Abstract August 3

The great thing about living near a river is that you don't have to go far to find an abstract which doesn't need any editing at all. Just as well. I have run out of time again this evening. Story of my life.

Natures creativity

I love photos like this, where an actual image comes across as abstract without any manipulation. Really beautiful.

[Peter Dulis]

nice...

[Suzanne]

This almost looks like an upside down map of England,! The river looks beautifully clear

[Kahsia]

Looks like you are opening your eyes to all the possibilities. Sounds iike a great exercise.

[Shy Abel]

looks like art to me :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You could put a photo in your program, apply an effect and come up with something very similar, so this is great that you found it "au natural"!

[Wim Enserink]

Nice abstract.

[Ann Williams]

I usually find abstract quite busy but this is so calming to look at. Love the colours and gentle ripples.

@rosiekind indeed - and there is plenty of it
@redandwhite yes Catherine, the river is a perfect inspiration for this. thank you for your lovely comment.
@pdulis ...appreciated
@suzanne234 the river is, in fact, a tip. But with a camera, we can pick out what we like and leave the rest!
@moonmtn I have much more to learn about observing what would make a true abstract. But hope to keep my eyes open and learn.
@shylaine3304 art for art sake! thanks - there is plenty more in the river.
@olivetreeann I feel happier finding the natural abstracts although confess to having fun at times with all the fancy manipulation that can be done.
@wenser thanks Wim - I see you are still following!
@flowerfairyann thanks Ann for that interesting observation. I shall take it as a warning not to get too busy, I think that would be wise.
