Turn it clockwise 90° and it looks like some petroglyphs I've seen in New Mexico....but the bra?...or sunglasses? Not so much....

A very dramatic shot. I think the color of the water is really nice. I also like that the bird and those sticks are in silhouette. Well captured photo. My only nit pick is the stick that is running through the body of the bird and the reflection. I might be tempted to remove it with spot healing tool in ps. This one would go on the wall for sure.

Thanks Erich. I wasn't so sure about that stick too. I can take a hand to it and see how it turns out.

You might try reversing black & white.Thank you!
And I'll give that reversal a try, had not thought of it but it will probably be interesting.

Minnie, This is a quick try at adding a sun refection on the water.

Nice version. You made it look like one you took
in one of your Louisiana swamps!Feb 22, 2017 20:35:08 #
It is easy in PS CC to blend silhouettes and takes just few minutes.

I know
That is one reason I captured it the way I did, I love textures and backgrounds and figured I could have fun with this one.Feb 23, 2017 11:19:59 #

Minnie, I have to be honest, at first I did not read your opening description fully and while viewing couldn't make heads or tails out of the carrot. After reading and viewing more closely I now can see the bra and the carrot, but I also see a frogs face with the bra being sunglasses. My term for that would be tunnel vision. Having said that, I find this image being an example of how clouds can portray various objects to us. We just have to take the blinders down to see them. I have very little knowledge of natural abstracts, also minimum interest, but I would never rule it out, because there was a point in time with me that I didn't care for B&W's. So I will continue to view and study the various images with a deeper thought process.

Thanks for your comments. It is a funny picture. I don't have much formal knowledge of natural abstracts either but Erich's thread piqued my curiosity so I've read a lot over the past week and find that some of the landscape photographers whose work I most admire, like William Neill and Guy Tal, consider themselves to be shooting a lot of nature abstracts. Lots of good reading in this area and though it may not translate to my making better images, it definitely has my interest.

Presented as "A Carrot and Her Bra" it seems to totally fit "Natural Abstracts" to me minniev.......maybe a touch of toning work to improve.
