Denise,

It's not one of my all-time favorite abstracts of yours though I still like it. I wish there was more detail available throughout the photo as at the top of the image, two thirds of the way in from the left. I almost find myself cropping the image at half the width and saving the right half as a vertical.

Hmmm, Denise, this one seems a little too abstract to me. I'm wanting to pick up more detail in the leaves but can't quite envision an underlying structure as presented. The radial lines in the center suggest something but I'm not quite sure what. Lovely colors!

[Mark Fuge]

Interesting, Denise.

I like the tones and colors, as well as the implied motion. Nice.

Hi Denise, love the color in this one. I like that you can barely tell it is of leaves, just a hint of detail to give it away. I wonder if the brighter areas on the left should be toned down a smidge. Nicely done!:)

[Cheryl Slechta]

Denise, I like it but agree with Andrew about toning the bright area on the left just a bit. The colors are beautiful:) I especially like the darker areas on the right.

Thanks folks for the feedback. I appreciate it.:)

[Patti Edens]

Lovely color in this one. I agree with Andrew about the subtle hint of leaf veins giving away the subject. It was fun to just look at all of the motion and let my eyes drift over the pattern.

Denise, you seem to always capture and create the most amazing colours and effects. Your mind must be spinning at 1000rpm. :) I like how some of the veins in the leaves are visible.

Patti and Stuart, Thank you both!

Beautiful warm image, the colors are so rich. With the effect the leaves almost take on the look of carved wood

Brendan, Thank you for your kind comment.:)
