Fungus Abstract

Pablo Picasso is quoted as saying "There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterwards you can remove all traces of reality." I started with a simple shot of a fungus growing on a tree stump. Then as Picasso said, I removed all traces of reality using several Photoshop features.

Love the description of your editing process... very creative. With the circle and jagged edges it makes me think of a saw blade.

This is so eye catching...and creative!
