Rose Abstract + Repost

Thought the colors and the shapes of the petals in this rose would look great as an abstract.

Thanks for taking a look. Your comments are much appreciated.

Beautiful abstract. The blending of colors is warm and delicate and the contours of the petals add a sense of movement. I really enjoy this one.

Wonderful photo... Creamy smooth with colors, light and dof in harmony. I am only looking for something in urc that continues the diagonal line or structure. ...I did not explain that well. Well done.

Sanjay - Good Take on the Rose Petal Abstract - specially like the lovely colors :cool: .

As you might have realized these are not quite as easy as they look. My only observation is similar to what Ken said earlier. The right side looks a bit blank.

Lovely colors. I am not an abstract type photographer, but I like this.

Superbly coloured and executed with a very delicate touch, Sanjay ! I agree with others over the comp, but that is a very minor nit in respect of a very lovely image.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
I did shoot the same image at f/8. It provides a little more detail on the upper right corner.
Do you prefer this one?

Thanks,

Sanjay

Sanjay: Interesting how just changing the DOF alters the image substantially. I do like the repost but the original does work for me. Well seen and captured. >=))>
