From December 16, 2006 to January 14, 2007, Botany Photo of the Day is going to be featuring photo abstracts posted with little or no scientific commentary. If abstracts aren't to your taste, please consider revisiting the site in mid-January. – Daniel
This tropical plant is marketed under what seems like a dozen names. I purchased this one at the garden's Indoor Plant Sale after photographing it. It sits above my computer desk.

Soothing image, especially in the Holiday maze!

Thanks!
This image was shot at f/32 with a 20 seconds exposure, using a macro lens and tripod. The repeating waves that nearly bisect the frame give a hint about how the abstract was made. I manually changed the focus of the lens starting from in focus to increasingly out of focus in slow “one one thousand, two one thousand” increments (~ 6-7 times, I think).

I agree - gorgeous colour and line - although I am loving all of the abstracts.

Hi,
Re: selling prints - sometime in the new year, I think, if my proposal for doing so gets approved.
