Beautiful Bobby. This totally works for me. I might have suggested lightening it a little but I as I see more of your work, a definite moody, somewhat dark style is becoming evident. I like it! I think you hit the target with this one!

PS I'd love to see you and images like this in the Minimalism, Abstract and Beyond group!
;)

Actually, I think you should add this to the pinned post at the head of the group as it is a really good example of abstracts. ;)

How?

You can just reply to the first post "defining minimalism ,,,," and post your photo in your reply. If you want to also respond the post with you ideas - even better!

Thank you so much, your comments really help my confidence!

Nice image Bobby

Thanks Joseph! I appreciate your comment!

Now you've nailed it, Bobby! Simplifying the image has made all the difference, you've got a beautiful flow to it, and a sense of a mysterious light in the background. Also, to me, the middle and lower part of the image suggest a creature, rather than a plant, adding another layer to the image's appeal. I like the toning - it adds to the sense of mystery.

All that with a bit of grass... ;-) No, I didn't mean that sort of grass!

Lol! Your ending was amusing I got a great laugh my friend thanks.... Most of all thanks for the love! How I did this was I clipped some grass outside, brought it in put it in a small clear glass, then set it down on a white piece of paper and looked down to take the portrait with my camera then used a manipulation app to pinch and twirl the image.

I agree with all former comments Bobby. This has a painterly feel to it with wonderful tones.

I am really liking the composition also, the blades of grass form wonderful leading lines to the center of the plant. I have to ask - is the light in the center natural, or did you enhance in post? Either way this is a masterful addition as it acts as a resting place for the eye before it investigates further.

Wonderful image, one I'd be proud to hang on my wall.

PS - I don't see this in your portfolio.... it needs to be there.......

Thanks Alan will definitely put in my portf. No I did not add any light I used natural lighting from my window being ope and my front door on the other side so it evened out the toning in the lighting to where all I had to do was convert to jpeg

I used natural lighting from my cutins opened on my large living room window and my front door being open.
