Photomanipulation of original close-up of crystal, in Photoshop. What I like about abstraction is the ambiguity of it, so that I can interpret what my eye sees on many levels. Image c Lynda Lehmann. Available at http://www.lyndalehmann.com/

I see highly polished and faceted gold as in the metal. It's so amazing how it takes on a completely different look than the original crystal. I also notice the pineapple pattern in the faceting that I probably wouldn't have seen if looking at the whole object. Great shot, Lynda! Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
ReplyDeleteI thought at first that was a dome of the church from inside, but then it looks just like my crystal vase, lol. very nice shot, anna :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful abstract! It reminds me of the frost that creeps over the windows in the winter. Kathy
ReplyDeleteKathy, I've seen a pineapple or a cathedral in it, or a steel building superstructure. You would think I would have seen frost too, since frost on the windowpane always fascinates me! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter takes a lot of weird close up shots of different things, totally gives you different perspective on the item, very cool. I too thought it was a church dome. great pic!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why I love abstraction, because you can see the same image as so many different things or interpret it it in so many different ways! Therein lies the mystery... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and commenting, Bob!
It looks like an ornate architectural feature to me.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog. Your pictures are wonderful.
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, I too feel the same way about dragonflies, but as of yet i havn't hafd one land on my head. As to them living 24 hrs, that is not true , they tend to live for several weeks, which is not long but their only function is to mate.
Your pictures you have through Imagekind looks a good idea and looks well on your blog.
Hope you dont mind but i have added your link onto my blog as i like the work that you do.
Cheers Mark
Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI think I read it in my Audubon book. Is it possible that the species of dragonfly in the N.E. United States live less long than some other species? If I can find the source where it says they only live 24 hours, I'll let you know.
Anyway, thanks for visiting and for adding my link. I like your work as well, so I've added your link to my blog page.
Happy photographing!
