Abstract macro photography - fall's fire

Cross posted in artists.

I'm back in advanced photography this fall - shooting digital (mostly) - and pushing the limits of macro. All but the first are macro shots taken with the intent of using a shallow depth of field to create an abstract image. Most are fall leaves - but I'll have to find another subject soon!

These are simply magnificent! The shapes, the shadows, the blurry mystery in the photos!

These photos are magic.
