Fan leaf

The symmetry of this tropical leaf caught my attention at the Welsh Botanic Gardens.

That is lovely. Have you noticed the strange optical effect when you move the image up and down the screen? Or is it just my eyes :S . Sally

I choose this one among those you uploade. It reminds me of a peacock

Excellent abstract, like Giulio it reminds me a bit of a Peacock

I'm glad you enjoyed the picture Sally. I hadn't noticed the effect you mentioned until just now. To me the fan appears to open out or contract as you scroll it. Its either an optical illusion based on the lack of a point of focus or we are both going bananas!

Kind regards, Bob
