Focusing on Life - 18 of 52

This week, Sally challenged us to create an abstract photo.

I puzzled over what to photograph almost the entire week until I bit the bullet and walked outside with my camera.

I took a few pictures of the kiddo's flowers and added a bit of grain to the pictures.


This one seems more abstract and I really love it.


These photos are very much like Sally's inspiration photo she sent us last week.  Sally, thank you for the inspiration and for another wonderful week.

Please take a few minutes to visit Sally's blog to see what abstracts the other participants came up with.

    Oh yeah, that second one is totally abstract with its spiky lines/petals. Great eye!

    I like how the one petal is about to poke me in the eye :-) This shade of purple is luscious! Great photos.

    Your shot is perfect showing line and color. That sums up abstract in a most beautiful purple way!

    It's amazing how the abstract changes the original. Beautiful shot. BTW, read your above post about your karate necklace, which is incredible. Congrats to you!

    I really like the 2nd one. You can almost psych yourself out of knowing it's a flower and imagine it being something else!

    Oh these are both super shots! I love the effects in the first one especially, but that second one w/it's lines/curves and shadows really grabs my attention. The colors in both shots are just amazing, too.
