I like abstract photography when I first see and image and try to determine what real world object I am looking at. When I realize that it is merely a shape, reflection or close-up of different colors, I then look at what it could be. Like the leading photo, my mind first saw a fish, can anyone else see it? Great series here!

I don't often get the chance to post abstract photography here, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. So, it looked like a fish to you? That’s fascinating. It seems we have a tendency where once we see something as a particular object, it becomes nearly impossible to see it as anything else.

Somehow, yes, that is how my mind tried to make sense of the shape of the lighter shade; then, looking at it full size when other elements such as texture provided context to what I was seeing, I just enjoyed your abstract capture!
