About the picture - nice colour and that faint sense of movement, but I think it would work better if the stripes were more vertical, and those diagonal wispy bits weren't visible.

What is it?

Wasn't joking when I said that I ain't got a clue!! It was a clump of plants? Possibly like rhubarb or something? It was the colours that stood out which made me try the vertical pan for the abstract!

Was a shame that I didn't have the tripod with me, but then they were not all vertical, which is where I presume the 'wispy bits' came from. Maybe I should call it Wispy Bits!!??

Here's another attempt

Batsford was my home for 5 years,my father ran the nursery, where the cafe now stands used to be my room, the place has changed a lot since we worked it.
C&C welcome.
