No art historian I, perhaps more impressionist than abstract? Pine trees reflected in a pond along Quaker Bridge Road. Another image from my Saturday ride through the Pinelands.

Adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor so that you can view each of the 17 grayscale steps from black to white. Special attention should be given to the black end of the scale. The darkest step should be made as dark as possible while you are also able to distinguish it from the next lighter step.

A lovely abstract! How did you do it?
@ Jo: My Abstract image was an attempt to get a nice sharp reflection of the pine trees in a pond. Alas, mother nature had other plans, and as I was shooting a breeze came up, leading to ripples on the water. This is what breaks up the image into all the "disconnected pieces".
As t the technical aspects of how I did it:
Camera: Canon 50D
Lens: Canon 24-105 mm L at 105
Mounted on a tripod.
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/11
Exposure: 1/8 second
I shoot RAW and process in Photoshop CS3 / Camera RAW
I did some slight color adjustment to bring up the green foliage, along with levels adjustment and that's about it.
I had thought it might be a deliberate camera shake. Thanks for the explanation.
@ Jo: I'm not that clever. :-) And you;re welcome.
I bet the water was nice and smooth right up until you pressed the shutter! ;) It still turned out to be a very nice shot.
This is beautiful! Love your techniques and your help from Mother Nature, made for a painterly image! very creative!
Reminds me of Monet's waterlilies.
