Thankfully Sally's explanation did the trick - once again!
Apparently, it's all about:
The use of a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.
My first thought was to just have fun with the various Picasa tools and manipulate an image, but then I was given these for my birthday on Sunday
And I quickly realized, all I needed to do was open my eyes, and get r-e-a-l-l-y close...
I have not done anything at all with these shots beside point 'n' shoot :)
Now I'm whizzing over to Sally's Studio Sublime to see all the other wacky, abstract photos - can't wait :)
Till next week xxx

Super close ups! And Belated Happy Birthday wishes.
The 3 flower pictures are gorgeous... much nicer than the average modern abstract painting!
And yes I hope you had a wonderful birthday... the 3 tulip pictures in the previous post are lovely too!
Love these! Very good use of what your eyes see. Happy Birthday!
Claire just wonderful shots and cool abstracts!
First, happy birthday!!!
I love your photos and they are perfect for this assignent. The colors are just gorgeous!!
Happy Birthday! Tulips are alive with color. My favorite flower.
gorgeous! it's like someone painted the flower!! how beautiful
Totally aweseome abstract here for sure! And I'm swooning over the colors, too - wow!!
Lovely shots!
I love the colors. Those are great photos.
Very nice, Claire! It does have it all, fabulous color, beautiful line, and gorgeous shape. Well done!
Great job Claire. You pics are amazing. Mother nature does do abstract really well. The only thing I did to my pic was to crop it a little.
Those flower closeups are really pretty! Yum!
Hope it was a great birthday - certainly a colourful one. Great job catching that colour in some great shots, love all the swooping lines
Those are really great shots. That's all I pretty much did too was zoom in!
Oh Claire, I love these! The first 3 even look like paintings only better! Maybe that's because I love tulips! Happy birthday!
Oh wow! That's great that you were able to get so much out of the pictures without editing them. Excellent work!
Awesome Claire! That first photo itself is an amazing exercise in form, line and colour.
Love the swirls of color within the petals. The green one is perfect!
Happy Birthday! Love these. Tulips are my favorite and these definitely don't need any editing. Stunning.
Cool! I love those photos.
I have to say that if you didn't show us they were flowers, I would indeed be wondering what they were. So beautiful. I love that if feels like I can dive into the picture and maybe emerge in a magical land somewhere on the other side.
Very Georgia O'Keefe- great what the eye can see when is comes Freeeee!
To be precise, that colors and form in the flower photo - it gave me goosebumps! Nature just AMAZES us! I challenge all people who dare to say life is boring- There is so much out there. Thankyou for sharing!!
I love the way the color in those flower petals is so vibrant up close! It looks so painterly. Frameworthy! Enjoy the day. Erin
