Georgia O'Keefe would appreciate these shots. Nice colors and shapes, but I'm having a little trouble figuring out which way to turn them if they were framed. I like them but I'm not sure exactly why. Wallpaper?

The orientation is a personal choice. There is no "right", or "wrong"; whatever makes you happy. Thanks for the comment. Tri.

I like the first two. The last one doe not move me. I think I would like it more blurred.

I did a series similar to this a few years back. It's amazing what you can find when you take a look at something close up and only show a section of the complete object.

Thanks everyone for looking and providing useful comments. This type of shooting, in my humble opinion, is so unpredictable, spontaneous, and exciting. Tri.
