 Abstract 01 -- "Flurries"

One shot, closeup of water with spray on the surface, and flash from the side towards back. The white specks are not added, they are water spray in the air. I didn't feel like cloning them out, even though I agree that they could be distracting to viewers.

Impression of snow flurries on a winter evening. I was thinking about Turner while making pictures yesterday afternoon. I am trying to find inspiration in his paintings.

Gorgeous tones... and the little white specks sparkle! Love it.

Awesome as usual. I actually really love the water specks. You should really open a gallery. So many of your photos would look awesome as big canvas wraps

Your images are like a hug of color. Positive, energizing. Always a treat to the eye & heart.

Thank you for your comments on my image 'I Dreamed the Windows Open,' way back in November. I think we may share some viewpoints on photography. I am looking forward to enjoying your images in this SC, & your thoughts. Long ago, I got a pyrex dish, & I think I have a stage to set up an attempt to try your method out & see what happens. I found my tripod, too. So, we shall see if I can get anything interesting.

this is stunning Ursula. I was thinking Turner even before I read your description :-).
I LOVE abstarcts, so this is just my type of image.
What "surface" did you have the water on? Very beautiful, I think it would make a stunning print too.

Never a disappointment to open an Ursula image.

Glorious blur of colors and shades and swirls....

Masterful abstract. Just the right blend of colours and shapes.

Nice shot, an abstract landscape on a winter's day.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/08/2013 12:13:05 PM
My impression, without reading your description was of a dark, threatening winter day. Painterly. A really successful abstract, I think, although for me the white speckles don't really add anything.

I love how my eye is drawn in and such beauty awaits. Lovely Ursula.

I'd say your first week is proving to be very successful. I feel trapped and free at the same time in this image.

This is really cool. I love the very soft, dreamy feel.

Great image, I love the atmosphere, the colours. Very abstract indeed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful Natural Abstract! Find the specks a bit distracting, also see a face in the clouds! would be an 8 from me in a free study or landscape challenge! love the moodiness of it.

I can see the Turner in here. This is a beautiful abstract (seascape?) full of the glorious hues that only you can do, the specks detract a little, I keep focusing back on them, then again that makes me look beyond them back into the flows.

Well that truly is very Turner like. The colour palette especially. Lovely work Ursula.

A dreamscape, with others off in the distance.
