First one is exquisite. Second has me reaching for dark glasses. Third is a lovely mass of textures.

But that first... gorgeous!

The first one reminded me of this:

Thanks delph, these were some shots I took in the backyard. I'm trying to see what kind of abstracts I can come up with from trees. Looking for some inspiration and trying something different. The first shot came from a dead log - it was an easy shot, the log did all the work. The second was a piece of bark that I edited with 100% color saturation.

Thanks Suzanne, glad you liked. Especially the comparison to Starry Night - WOW!

Thank you John!

Impressive set of pictures Marten, the high colour saturation really stands out in the second image. The textures are really good and each picture has its own individual qualities to be enjoyed.

all the best

to anticipate touching what is unseen seems far more interesting than seeing what the hand can not touch
