Nice mixture of lines, color and curves. I do think I prefer the perspective of the leaves radiating outward, but this has its appeal as well. Can't wait for the next in the series!

Great lines and light Albert. Honestly the perspective feels a bit to me like this was rotated 90 degrees CW. I think I might like it a little better if it was horizontal, turned 90 degrees CCW.

Albert had to come back and visit this a second time. First time i looked at the thumbnail. Today I was pushed to look deeper. Glad I did. What a sweet abstract. Great lines and lighting. :toast: :toast: I'm green with envy. :smile:

Albert,
What I like most about this is the lighting, with parts of the transluscent leaves backlit. Interesting and unusual prestentation, with this horizontal orientation of the pleats.

Gosh, this is really well seen and captured Albert. There are 4 really great ways to present this. Any way you turn it. :jump:
