I don’t really see this as an abstract. I do see a lovely image with wonderful detail and terrific colors. If it were me, I would consider cropping off the dead space on the right and focusing in more on those spectacular leaves.
Montucky – And this was late in the day, when you get that deep golden light. Thanks.
Ed – I actually tried cropping it like you said back when I first scanned this, but the crop was a bit much for my tastes. I took this back when I first got into photography (less than two years ago), so it was a composition error more than anything else. Thanks for the input.
Michelle – Thanks. 🙂
Dragon – Yeah, this was late summer, so things definitely were starting to turn. Thanks.
Claudio – Yes, the light was quite nice then. Thank you.
I have to go with chris as not really seeing this as abstract at all, but the colors definitely make this one.
A tip I discovered. If you go to your name next to new post on the right in the dashboard, and change your default website to your blog, anywhere you comment with your wordpress account will make your name a link back to here. It brings in hits for me, and I keep going to click your name to come here and it doesn’t work. Just a thought.
