A tumbleweed that wandered into my yard. I love the shapes the branches take and the spikyness. Was an impossible subject, like trying to photograph a porcupine, those spikes, whatever they are, are sharp!
Originally had this lit up by lights from below but it created too harsh a light unless it was yellow which is the one I worked with.
Used levels, did quite a bit of adjusting with that, USM and a softglow. Pretty simple really.

I've looked as this one again and really can't make out what it is! which is a good thing! - I'm guessing a hawthorn bush. The colours / shades are well balanced.
Not all that abstract, but very nice. I like the toning and the layering effect due to the DOF. There's pixelation in the background that's distracting.
