Galleries: Abstract, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

 I know abstracts do not do well. I'm sure I won't place that high in this challenge with so many entries so I decided to put in what I really enjoy. This is a stack of coffee filters. I don't save the originals so this is new.

This makes me think of sheets; Wonder if that's what it is?

the further you get away from this image, the better it works, really can get a feel for the pattern. not one to be viewed with nose to the screen.

Interesting. You can see all sorts of shapes in this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:25:42 AM
I'm going to be wondering what this is until the challenge is over, I'll guess from the title toilet paper.

I keep wondering how many more high scores I can hand out this is sooo soft and pretty...I seem to have hit a pocket of 9/10!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:08:47 PM
I'm trying to work out where 'morning'comes in to it - no one has that many bed sheets. Great graphic though :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:48:36 PM
I can see this on a contemporary home wall. Nice abstract!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:26:06 PM
This reminds me of pencil shavings but in a beautiful, curvaceous and utterly feminine version.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:22:28 PM
could be a tad more sharpened, IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:59:44 AM
Good pic but not great. Perhaps the lighting a bit to contrasted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:56:43 AM
Well composed, but I think that the stark whiteness in this image really loses the edge definition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:16:14 AM
interesting abstract, but bit washed out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:11:50 AM

Interesting macro. Cool lines.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice lines and patterns. Very nice macro. A tad soft for me, I tend to like really sharp macros, but a very nice photo nonetheless.
