Well done! I like abstracts based on patterns and shapes and I love that curtain-like structure you've captured but I'm not much into blurred abstracts as they sometimes make me feel uncomfortable and confused. It makes me think that edges and clear distinctions are quite important to me. :) Petra Pavlátkováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703286779861972964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-59128125485205247792015-10-30T08:28:47.885+01:002015-10-30T08:28:47.885+01:00Thanks, Susan.

Some things we can guess, but it's all about seeing the abstract quality as well as something which is totally abstract and unrecognizable. That's good too!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-46491417306764217762015-10-30T05:01:57.150+01:002015-10-30T05:01:57.150+01:00Love how you shook things up here, Sandra and it a...Love how you shook things up here, Sandra and it allows us as viewers to use our imaginations...love that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968696030528267782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-14690568346132167232015-10-29T18:11:05.824+01:002015-10-29T18:11:05.824+01:00Abstracts are a whole new world, Nancy!

I know that abstracts aren't for everyone and those who are used to everyday photography representing known and familiar subjects feel more comfortable with that which is recognizable. But the fun and exhilaration of creating abstracts is so freeing. It teaches us to appreciate what we see in just another way! In fact, we appreciate certain details even more!<br /><br />DeleteSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-52848350089528408602015-10-27T01:10:04.589+01:002015-10-27T01:10:04.589+01:00Breathtaking abstracts.
