Very unique perspective - I like how you've filled the frame with interesting lines, patterns and colours.

Pat this is beautiful!
I agree with ST comment.
I like your work with PS as well.
I love the photo - but prefer the original.
Really great shoits, Pat! Super perspective, details and textures.
Thanks everyone for your comments - amazing what inspiration you can find when you look around your own home!
It is an unusual colour, I like them both, but seem to be drawn to the first one more

Yep first one does it for me. Very abstract whilst still being recognisable. Great colour interest too. Just shows you don't even have to leave your backyard for a great shot!
Nice shot Pat , i really like the colors in the first shot ..
