Anyone else like to make abstract art from your photos?

[fauxbird]

I like to play with some of my photos for fun and create abstract art from them. Flowers work pretty well because they are bright in color. Any comments welcome! Enjoy

2=calanthe orchid

3=blue&purple hydangas

4=pink camilia

5=pinkish/lavender peony

Hi Suzanne,

Well that's new, I don't think we've had anyone do this before, quite a neat idea.

I could even see some of the larger patterned ones (say #4 or #5) as table mats or coasters (drinks mats), if you know what I mean (maybe called something different stateside).

Nice one, (well 5)

Thanks,

Very nice Suzanne.

I did this one from a sunset photo!
Well, I didn't do it, PP did. ;o)

Hi Donald, I have a section which performs reflection effects in my Paintshop Pro, It produces some amazing results and makes me look clever, which I can assure you, I most definately am not.

.... and makes me look clever:cool (smiley) ...

Clever - I can just about get away with, if the subject matter is right.
Cool - At my age and with my receding hair line, I need all the help that's out there !

I had a play with some paddling pool shots in GIMP......I think this is what you may term abstract. Or is it still life...oh here goes anyway

Mums the word Suzanne..

Wirefox, That is really good, I would just simply not have the imagination to produce something like that.
