 I was actually trying to find a better vantage point to take photos of the pelicans in the vlei and then I came aross these plants with their fingerlike hairy leaves.
I cropped it a bit closer and used levels to bring out the contrast a bit more.

seems small in size and a really "abstract" look to it, due to the "busyness" but, the colors are beautiful!

This needs to be bigger to do well here at DPC... There's a tutorial in the Learn section that will help with resizing for challenges.

if the focus is rain, the strong pattern and color competes too much
