You could just as easily have put that in the Abstract category, Craig. Very perceptive eye.

This composition is really eye-catching. I like the simplicity of this vine as it lays against that neutral colored background wall.

The vine is like a windswept tree, following nature. Cool shot.

Such a cool post, the vines have a mind of there own and take over anything in there way

a fine abstract - I really like the contrast of organic and geometric forms.

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Excellent...They look like a mural painted on the wall. I love the way they look like they are windblown. It is interesting how they grew in the direction. Very graceful lines.

Russ Devan from New Hanover, United States
Simple yet extraordinary. I agree with Laurie; it does look like it is windblown. I would be very curious to find out why the vine grew in the direction that it did. The only thing that might improve this composition is to clone out the stray shadow to the right of the vine. It is very distracting and takes away from the simpleness of the composition. Great job, Craig.

Paolo from Udine, Italy
I like this kind of "fractal" photos, which mixes reality and abstract

Jonathan from Knoxville, United States
excellent shot, I was going to make some comments but this would be easier. (Look UP) I agree with the shadow being removed, but besides that, there is everything to love about this picture.

Nicely seen - not many people would have even noticed this, much less taken time to stop and immortilize it on "film".

What a cool shot! At first I thought these were branches blowing in the wind...imagine my surprise! Cool!
