This started out as a leaf blur.:) (monochrome greens) I first used Nik bicolor, then ocean ripple, then ocean wave, then Topaz adjust - portrait smooth, mucho sharpening and a frame. I'm always amazed at what a very plain image can turn into. This reminded me of African cloth.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Cheryl. It's very cool looking. I like the color and woven pattern. It does look very abstract.

Neat image, Cheryl - it reminds me of a computer circuit board! Beautiful no matter what it is...and a very nice abstract!

Nice image and application, Cheryl.
One possible suggestion I would have it to tweak the B/C and H/S a little. You image nice and of another vision, but it also might look good with more contrast.
I've attached an example of a quick adjustment, with the original on the left. But ...
Your image ... Your vision.

I like anything abstract..and I think you can't go wrong with abstract...its what your own eye's see..very nicely done, like the patterns and colors.

Amazing what you can create Cheryl and I like the vivid colour palette and how it goes from thick to thin in the corners. Would love to see the orig. just for comparison.

Thanks everyone. Mark, I like your repost and had started out with a more vibrant version but this reminded me so much of African cloth that the more muted one seemed to fit my vision better.:)
Jackie - Here's what I started with - this is straight out of the camera, dust spots and all:eek:
