Well composed, Chikku, for the semi abstract look. I like that, by keeping the left side, the view can tell what caused the abstract pattern on the right. Good job to create the flowing abstract, and the angled comp works well. It would be interesting to see an image with all, or almost all, abstract flow.

The tension between the sharp log and leaves and the flowing leaves is palpable. It's an interesting and challenging approach. I too wonder what an shot with only the flowing leaves would look like.

Wow - great idea, well executed! I love that towards the bottom 1/3 of the tree we can see a leaf that has been sort of frozen in the action. For me, this confirms what I thought I was seeing - a long exposure of falling leaves.

Beautiful colors in the flow but I find myself fixated on the lady bug. Nice work

This is pretty cool, Chikku. I really like the visual tension here with the stationary log and the abstract flow of the leaves. Great use of diagonals also.
