I find this quite intriguing. The colour combination and the contrast of straight and twisted organic lines and silver dots make for a good abstract. Great position for circle, leaves my imagination to complete. Wondering whether a small crop of the negative space on RHS will actually strengthen the composition #1759535

Christine Greenspan level-deluxe March 31, 2021

Thanks very much for your thoughts, Cliff. I wondered about the crop, too, after I posted. #11888217

Joannie Bertucci level-classic March 31, 2021

Stunning work Christine! Love the strong contrasts and the different shapes! I personally don't see a need for a crop, just my opinion! :-) fave #11888264

Christine Greenspan level-deluxe March 31, 2021

Thanks, Joannie! I decided to leave as is. Have a great night! :) #11888269

A fantastic shot, Christine! Super composition and selective coloring! #11888359

Terry Cervi level-deluxe March 31, 2021

Sorry I guess you didn't use selective coloring but combined a colored object with a black and white object. Great job, Christine! #11888360

Christine Greenspan level-deluxe March 31, 2021

Thanks so much, Terry. The black background is velvet and the white streaks are Topaz dust and scratches. #11888369

Yes this is a wonderful photo for our 2021 Photo Challenge as well as the contest, Christine. Like Cliff, I found this intriguing... and like everyone, I found it lovely and beautiful. Is that a jewelry dish or something? #11888576

Many thanks, Elias, Terry, Jim, and Gregory! And Jim, it's just a cheap pendant from the craft store that I've had laying around forever. Finally found a use for it! :-) #11889028
