Ric,

You got it! I'm so happy that you've picked up on the abstract nature of this one. That was my entire intent and purpose. Hole in one.

Landscapes need not be grand sweeping vistas of mountains or fields. They can be up close, as well as personal works, too.

Shane, the fact that this image does nothing for you is good. It works for both of us; for me: it tells me that it either blows chunks -- I have to do better, and, for you: perhaps as an opportunity to look at it not as a traditional landscape, but, a little tiny artistic representation of nature in its own right.

I shy away from abstracts as I'm not good at them, and, it's very, very difficult to convey the emotional message, and, produce an impact that a good abstract photo/painting should do. I have immense respect for photographers/artists who can get that message across through their works. It is something I will work on in future.

Thanks, Barry. I guess my intent has worked, to an extent. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
