This is out of my comfort zone. I really am not into anything abstract but I wanted to challenge myself. When I first read the challenge I thought it said B/W Macro Abstract. By the time I realized my mistake I had already spent time on this. I know it isn't going to do well but after the time I spent I actually liked the result. I squirted black acrylic paint onto some foil next to a window. I then sporadically squirted some cream colored acrylic paint onto the black. I then took a toothpick and dragged it through the paint to create some design. I had a few outtakes that was tough to choose from. This one looked like an orchid. I shot in raw and opened up in CS3. The following are the post-processing steps
