Frangipani asbtract

Oh my what a beautiful abstract. The fan of radiating muted colors highlighted by the bright yellow band is just beautiful. Great foresight and implementation!

Beautiful, Gary - love the yellow peeking through the gap - lovely take on the Frangipani. Its getting better and better. If this were to be my photo I'd crop much of the darker tones from the left and fill the frame with only the lighter tones.

Gary, I like this abstract better than the previous (thanks for including the link). I think Ram's cropping suggestion might work quite well; hope you try it.
Normally I avoid any comments on framing but in this case, I think the black detracts from your image.
Cheers,

Gary,

Love the right 5/6 or so of the image. That shallow S curve really grabs my attention. Like the others though I'm having a little trouble with the darker area on the viewer's left. For my tastes probably cropping most of it away would work best. Although, lightening it and or cloning in color from the other side of the image might work also. My last thought was a CCW 90 degree rotation and crop. Then the heavier dark area could serve as a support for the lighter area with the curve. Beautiful in all other respects.

I love the sweeping lines you have here. I also agree with Ram on the crop. Well done!

Gary: Have you been channeling Ram? I hope you will take that as the high compliment intended. This is superb photography. >=))>

Bill:

Have you been channeling Ram?

Of course, who else but Ram! Have to learn from the best Master of Abstract.

Wow! Congratulations, Gary
There are too many MASTERS to learn from, HERE ! I'm a bit confused... !!!

Another great abstract Gary. Well composed and captured.

I'm going against the general consensus here and say keep the dark band on the left. To my eye it acts kinda like an anchor for the lines that are flowing out of the scene....like a flag attached to a pole...if that makes any sense.

Gary, whatever you do or don't do to change this its still a beautiful image.

beautiful abstract, Gary...I agree with the others to crop it a bit from the left

Hi Gary Been looking at this abstract for days. And really enjoy it!! Would be still on the fence about the crop. without the opinion that master abstract whiz... Ram. But your so close to a killer abstract.

Love it, Gary. Excellent abstract.

Haven't seen the previous yet, but my first thought on seeing the thumbnail was Ram! This has ram's signature on it, but it is your capture!!! I appreciate the sweeping curves. The capture is beautiful Gary. Nicely presented.

A wonderful abstract Gary.

A flower that I have never had the pleasure to shoot Gary. Very nice curve and colors. I like it!

Excellent use of line and color! Oh, and if heaven does not smell like these, I'm not sure I'll stay.

Beautiful abstract Gary, but I do like Ram's suggestion of cropping out the darker tones. Very nice as is though.

The colours and the lines are just beautiful in this picture- well done, Fabio

I really loe this one. The softness of the lines leading to a crisp white line with the bold yellow and subtle purples are great

Lovely!

Just beautiful , I have always wanted to photograph these they make for such lovely subjects. Wonderful work!
