Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature

yeah, always good to have a stuffed flamingo anywhere near you :-P
excellent focus and tones; the border rather distracts. not too creative, considered the 4th place in Abstract Macro I was similar. Will make top 10 at least, though.
