Yellow Crocus

I went all abstract on this one and concentrated on the liberty bell shape of this crocus. Taken with my 100mm macro at f4. I kept it simple to line and color.

I really appreciate the simple, abstract nature of this image. I wonder how it might look with the URC darkened slightly to keep my eye from being drawn up and out of the frame since that is the brightest area?

Beautiful frame this. Yellows stand out very well. A large print on the wall makes justice to this image!

I really like your choice of comp on this David. My eyes follow the curves and it flows very nicely.

Tremendously effective, David! Gorgeous color with a tantalizing amount of detail.

Excellent! I love the simplicity of the lines and the gentle shift in tones of the yellow.
