Stream-lined

This reminds me a bit of fish (or tadpoles) swimming in a stream...just another pattern on dead cactus matter.

Comments & criticisms welcome.

Very organic feel to this. Amazing detail in the large view. It looks like rocks trapped in a root system that I often see in uprooted trees. Fascinating.

I really like how the bits of cream/tan are scattered around the frame and how much warmth they add to the mostly black and white pattern. I find myself attracted to the larger tear drop shaped loops, especially the one just touching the top and the one almost touching the bottom.

Nice image, and yes, it does make me think of a stream, although I do not see 'fish swimming'.

Nicely seen and photographed abstract. What I find amazing here is the amount of "circles" that were naturally created with whatever this material is.

Another nice cactus abstract, Eirini. You have found another great arrangement of the color and detail. I see the streaming lines and the fish shapes. A very appealing image. Chet

A lot of appealing and interesting shapes and textures to explore here for me, Eirini. I especially appreciate the numerous variations of the pattern.

I don't really see the fish swimming in a stream, but I like this a lot, Eirini, for its pattern and abstract quality.

This is intriguing! Love all the details, shapes, lines, and patterns. Cool find. Seems a little over sharpened, but that's an easy fix. :toast:
