Abstracted Shadows

This shot was actually taken in 2016! My photo club is running a monthly theme for the remainder of 2022. They've entitled this month's theme "Out of the Cloud" with the intention of getting our members to pull out pictures from their archives and share them with the club. I went through some of my older files today and found this shot of a vine and its shadow amongst many pictures which I wondered why I'd kept! Anyhoo... this one was not bad considering at this time I was still using my "little point and shoot" as I used to call it. Too bad it wasn't on film first- I could have used it for Analog August too! (You can see another more recognizable treatment in my second album.)
Ooooh, I really like this one.

The decorations makes me think on Gustav Klimt paintings.

I like the repetition of the shapes in different colors. I have no idea how you did this but you did it well.

Thank you so much- I must say I did not really like this at first- I was running out of time and wanted to post an abstract so whatever came out first was going to be it. Now, with all the talk about Gustav Klimt, I guess I like it a little better! Thanks for all your views, generous comments and favs!

Ann...this reminds me of the famous painting that was stolen by the Nazis in 1941, called Woman in Gold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_Adele_Bloch-Bauer_I

@gardenfolk You are right to have associated the two- that is the exact painting used for this effect in Night Studio Cafe! The picture seemed vaguely familiar from my Fine Arts days but I didn't remember the details. Thanks for the link- it was good to read up on it again.
