I’m finally finishing up with the shots from my trip last weekend to see the orchid exhibition and thought I’d post a couple of abstract images.
The first shot is a close-up of an elephant ear plant. I like the way its veins pop out, like a bodybuilder with a heavy weight. The image is somewhat symmetrical, but the two sides are not mirror images.
The second shot is a close-up of an orchid. Is it just me, or does it look like the flower contains a pink Darth Vader helmet?

Actually, I kind of thought the second photo looked like one of the dwarfs in the Hobbit movie (with a big golden mustache). But yes, I can see a pink Darth Vader helmet as well.
Great choice of abstracts. So different yet intriguing.
Beautiful close up.
LOL!!! It’s definitely a Darth Vader helmet (and cape)
