Abstract-by-Night

Large view available. Keep it or toss it? Your opinion about this

"image" as either an interesting abstract or a useless blur is

appreciated. I like the repetitive lines and shapes and the array of

colors. Thanks for your views. Larry

Larry, entertaining us with a colorful abstract

I like it! And I was doing a similar thing when Friday evening when teaching students how to be creative without photoshop or other software. But I have to say, this looks better than my efforts which resembled space invaders : -) 

Nicely done Larry! 

Alf 

Tony,  Thanks for your reply.  Entertaining is a good word for this blur.  Cincinnati, Ohio never looked so good (LOL).   Larry

Alf,  This for weighing in on this whimsical blur of an image.  Given your opinion I consider this image a keeper.  It is an image in the sense of imagination, eh?  I was out with only my point and shoot without a tripod.  Camera movement created the effect.  Stay warm.  Larry

Hi Larry,

  Wonderful colorful abstract.  Take care, Patsy

Patsy,  Thanks for your vote on this image.  It has grown on me.  Larry

Wonderful - I really like it. 

Tony, Thanks for your response and adjustment idea.  It looks as if you lowered the brightness.  Is this correct?   Larry

Wow, fantastic dance of colors at night... Regards (and thanks for your words)

Most of the changes  I made affect the bottom part of the image: I cloned out the white streaks at the left and middle and another at the bottom right.  

I think it's a keeper as well.  Like Alf, I TRY to get stuff like this.  It's not as easy as it looks to get a 'keeper' abstract.  I like Tony's changes, but if this were mine I'd probably dodge the right side of the image to brighten it up a bit.

Christian,  Thanks for weighing in on this.  I will try brightening up the right side.  Good idea.  Larry

Christal,  My apologies for mistyping your name.

Tony, I thought hard about those white "streaks" that you cloned out.  I actually cloned out others and left these.  But, I like the image with them cloned out completely too.  i think Christal is one to a good idea in adding brightness or opening up shadows on the right.

Thanks to you both.  Larry

Really has an 'electricity' about it that I find very pleasing to the eye Larry. I also like the white lines cloned out, but for your 'original' vision, fabulous!! Well done Larry!
