[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An old concrete wall, with faded traces of paintwork and rust stains. This gave me the idea of seeing what a drastic increase in saturation would do, along with adding a bit of contrast. This is the end result - abstract art?

I intentionally left in the plant at the bottom right corner, a bit of reality thrown into the abstract.

(If anyone is interested, I can post the original as a workshop.)

Thanks for sharing.

You're right Kate, result is abstract art. It looks like painting and colours are really beautiful.

Uh, eye-catching work Kate! If it was not for the litlle green plant in the right corner, i would have thought you painted it. Colours are so complimentary and I enjoy the brain-exercise of finding figures in it :))

I definitely like this one :))

ComplimentS!

The abstract is realised with an excellent control of saturation! The effect is well done and the texture of the original wall too. I like the way to let some vegetation on it!

Wonderfull! My wife made a print to paint this! I hope you don't mind.
Really good; well I will see it againand again and ...Thanks Kate

Stunning colours. The bottom part looks a bit like a reflection in water. Very nicely done.

Hi Kate.
Je suis fascinée devant cette oeuvre. Elle ne présente rien de concret et ce chaos, cette multiplicité, ce mélange de couleurs est particulièrement atrayant à mes yeux. La composition fait danser l'esprit, on y sent un rhytme! C'est génial.
Luci

Beautiful vibrant colors Kate. Looks like a painting. Great luminosity in this shot.
Bravo!
