Hey David, great comp. I love the crosshatch pattern and the beautiful range of color. The large version is exquisite. Is this from St. Joe?

Hi David - I am enjoying the ultra fine detail in the shadows and in general, the larger sections. The cross hatch pattern is wonderful , but the finer detail is amazing!

Very unique and beautiful. I enjoy the colors, pattern and detail. To my eye it looks a touch oversharpened.

What a unique abstract! Completely different from anything I've seen. I like the luminous quality of the oranges. Congrats!

Well seen! Isn't it amazing how beautiful a burnt palm tree can look?

Nice one, David.
The texture, pattern, colors and tones just grab me. This is art that needs to be hung on a wall.
Photos like this remind me that I need to keep my eyes open for the little things.

Sorry I don’t know how to improve on this.

An amazing image. Both the blue and the yellow-orange areas seem to be lit from within and the details are terrific.

I completely dig these kind of images, David. This is done perfectly IMO. Would not change a thing. Well seen and captured!

Fascinating, David! The color contrasts, and flow of shapes is just awesome. Great work.
