If you have been around my blog for a while, you know how much I like abstracts. And I really like finding a subject that I can turn into an abstract. That's what we have here. Here at home we received a lovely floral arrangement, with several Bird of Paradise blooms. My wife wanted a few pictures to later attempt to paint them in water colors.
I took those, but then became excited with what I was seeing when I got in close with the big macro. I imagined that if I applied some negative Clarity in Lightroom, I'd have one of those abstracts I like so much. That, and a touch of Vibrance and Saturation, and here we are. Luscious, eh?
