Bill, I think the color gradation is so awesome in this abstract. Almost wish that wonderful edge didn't have the tiny, tiny hairs, but then sometimes we can't have it all LOL

Cheers,

Carol

Bill, I really like the color gradation and the diagonal lines. Sweet image.

A lovely study of colors and lines, Bill.

While I like this image, it is not speaking to me as strongly as the first 3 in the series. I like the colors and the focus, but there's something distracting to me.

A little more mysterious than the first three, but that is a good thing. I like the softness and pleasing combination of pastel colors with just enough detail and form. Love it!

Bill this is subtle and I like the soft delicate feel.

Oh, this is SO nice, Bill !! I love the sharp forms emerging out of the coloured mists; it's abstract but with a real sense of the tulip leaves. Inspired !!

I'm just slightly on the fence about this one. There's a lot I really like, the colors, lines, and the mystery of the image. And the execution is superb, of course. But like Anne to some extent, I ultimately don't find it as satisfying as the other images that you've recently posted. It's a bit hard to put into words why I feel that way . . . perhaps I'll just leave it at that!

Beautiful color palette Bill and I like the wash. I'd prefer a little more structure in the image for my tastes but this is perfect as presented.

Bill:
I like the color palette and the lines in this comp. When I look at this, my eye immediately lands on the sharp edge and follows the line to the right but was a little disappointed that the tip of the sepal was not visible. I guess I am wanting to see a little more structure in this abstract.
