    Hi Folks

    Have a look-see at this abstract Anna's Humming bird feeding on Aloa Vera flower blossom yesterday in our garden yesterday.

    Gus, I added theme to the title as it qualifies for our weekly theme.
    I love this. The simple lines and color are great. Nice white BG to set them off.
    I do wish that the red on the right was not cut off-but it doesn't keep me from liking this a lot.:)

    Gus, I like the first one with the grain. I think it adds a bit of texture and interest. The more I look at it I like your orig. composition, it seems more abstract.:)

    Yup, that first one is wonderful! I also wanted to see the red corner included but now that I do I know you got it right the first time. So simple and yet so beautiful!

    I like the original too, Gus. Simple shapes but the color combo and the treatment nail it:) Kora

    Excellent Gus! Two themes in one. I was hesitant about the flower leaving and re-entering the frame, but the more I look at it the more I like it. I do like the original better as well.

    Gus, another vote for the original:) The simplicity is very oriental. I love the lines - they convey so much movement - just like a hummingbird.
