Actually, I like this one over your previous post. This one is much better organized, with the horizontal layering. I wouldn't suggest anything to improve this, whereas in your previous post, I think it could be tightened up a bit.

Thanks for posting.

Nice repeating patterns, Mike. Transluscent spikes looks pretty attractive.

Very pleasing to look at even when you don't know what you're seeing! Wonderful textures and color, and great light too!

There is an interesting softness (oof area) below the tips of each of the leafs. It seems strange that effect would be present in nearly every receeding layer. What were your shooting spec's Mike? Inquiring minds want to know.

Impressive in every way Mike!

How about adding the Fallasburg Festival to your fall Art Show list?

Great shot and ditto title. I'd clone out the brighter area at the urc and the very tiny bright areas creeping inside the ulc. Wonderful abstract.
