Abstract August 12

We took our visitors to Wrest Park for the afternoon on Saturday. So why I end up posting the inside of a leaf, is beyond me. perhaps I will head over to the other album and post something a bit more representative of the beautiful place.

Anyway, this is for the abstract theme to which I am now committed for August.

I think the close ups are where you find the abstraction since you lose the context. Good job!

I like your abstract, macro and colours. Well done.

oh Helen, i really like this image.. it is very interesting and appealing.. i love the inherent leading lines.. and the decaying bits too..

[Lockarec]

I think this is really nice. The colors are striking and the patterns are interesting. Good eye!

[Ann Williams]

All those colours in a leaf - that's so well spotted Helen. Another winner.

@moonmtn Oh I agree. I just thought that looking for abstacts was a strange thing to be doing in a place where there were so many other shots for the taking
@haskar Thank you for your very kind appreciation
@jorlam decay works so well in photography! I was drawn to the leading line element in this too
@evalieutionspics thank you for this kind comment.

Beautiful colours, I wouldn't recognise it as a leaf, it looks almost like leather

[Helen Jane]

@flowerfairyann thank you kindly Ann.
@suzanne234 I'm glad you said that, it makes me feel better about its classification as an abstract Suzanne.

[Marloes]

No, that's not possible, haha, I just took pictures today of a leaf just like this one. But I didn't post them. Yours is great.

[summerfield]

hehehe! i thought they were pieces of meat. :-P

[Stephanie]

What a great picture Helen, I do like the perspective you took for this shot along the spine of the leaf, and how you found one with such beautiful colours and markings.

[Wendy Bowden]

lovely texture & colour
