Playing With My Photos

---

In May I took a photography trip to Yosemite National Park, which is one of my favorite places to photograph.  As usual, I went through images and picked out many to process, leaving others in the batch but not processing them.  This morning I looked at that folder of images again and one caught my eye in particular.  In the back of my mind was an upcoming photography competition with an "abstract" category and I think that was the difference in how I saw this particular image when I revisited the folder.  This is a photograph that has not been altered with any type of painting program or any other program to make it abstract in nature, although I did run it through my usual editing process.  This was the scene on that day but the resultant image is not what I was thinking of when I took the shot.  I do like the way, however, that  it has turned out.  I'll let you try to figure out how it became so abstract.  Enjoy!
