Nice. I like the mint green, too.

Thanks Phillip.

Love the title - I don't recall hearing that term before, but what a wonderful word! Interesting image, Joe. I'd love it, but for some unfathomable reason, quite the opposite to Phillip, I find the green and the high-key pastel tonings nauseating, and it puts me right off! I'd "fix" it in post... I can see a great composition, but feel the need for a kidney dish. At least it elicits a reaction... ;-)

Haha, yeah, working with lots of copywriters over the years I have become quite the thesaurus.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, always interested in hearing differing views.

I love the tones, especially the delicate touch you've used on te saturation slider......

Another wonderful image that would grace any wall, and a further source of inspiration.

Thanks much Alan.

Joe - you are a smooth one!

This put a big smile on my face. I think about composition and abstract a lot. I believe that a good abstract can get away with being interesting but a great abstract needs to have composition - even in its obscurity. This is a great one. The gray area of smoothness and low detail on the left AND green smooth area on the right is the perfect foil for the green crackled texture. The whole thing works for me. And I would TOTALLY hang this in my house!

Thank you Joe!
;)

PS - you should put it in the header to the group and give your thoughts about it.
