Poinciana Abstraction – Through the Nexus 4 HDR editing tool, then Picsart (app)
Enhancement of the colour gradient tool and Holga effect.

The pastels I used in this effect, deliberately distracted me from the familiar, bright orange of the Poinciana in full bloom. Rather, my head was filled with other associations when viewing this photograph. The delicate blue made me visualise a mirror with heavy scalloped edging reminiscent of 1940/50’s decor!
How about you?
I would be interested in hearing if the image prompted different feelings for you?
Something for you to ponder about.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

Amanda, what I enjoyed the most about your images is the layering of meaning. Somewhat as you implied in your description. It sparks the notion that Mother Nature is a treasure trove of sometime simple but mostly complicated flora and fauna. Happy Photo Challenge.

It reminded me of animations we used to watch in biology showing blood pumping through our veins, weirdly enough! Nice edit 🙂
