I got the idea for this picture from a professional abstract photogragher that photograghs big freighters in a shipyard near where he lives. Many of them have been painted again and again and have faded and flaked over time, leaving interesting colors and patterns on their hulls. He photograghs these hulls reflected in the water. They come out as beautiful abstracts.
Living in East Tennesse and having no shipyard near me, I had to settle with a nearby lake and some house boat hulls. I still found them interesting in their pattern and diversity when looked at from this perspective.
No post editing was needed here, just resized and border added.
Hope you all enjoy it.
