A little different from what we normally see here. I really liked the colors and form of this ?guy? This was taken at the Alaska SeaLife Center, in Seward, a few weekends ago.

Hey Dave, very cool abstract. Good details and color.

[Anita Bower]

I really like the colors and shapes of this abstract, especially those on the right. I might crop some of the left.

[denise ippolito]

Love the abstract feel-colors and details look good.

[Gus Cobos]

Really nice Dave,
I like the pattern and texture along with the different tones and hues...good show...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

What a beautiful abstract! I recropped it taking a little off the bottom right corner because that one piece was breaking the symmetry of the lines you had going here.

[Ed Vatza]

Wasilla? Where have I heard of that before? :D

Very interesting image. The colors, the patterns really seem to work well together. It's neat when you get an abstract pattern out of a reality-based image. Nice work.

Oh no... Please, we're not all crazy:o We've been getting WAY too much press this past year, not much of it good.

Thanks Julie, I like your cropped version better. The dark spot in the bottom right corner of my original was distracting. Cheers,
