Oh, Joy!

The creeks are running full tilt! My absolute favorite time of year. This one is very 'abstract' so it won't appeal to all of you but I like the sparkling highlights and the strong flow of current through the image. Comments are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

I just love your series of water pattern images, Nancy. What a wonderful collection of colorful abstracts you put together!

My first reaction wasn't that exciting, to be honest. But, I'm glad I opened up the bigger one, cause' it's worth taking the extra time! The golden color is wonderful, as are the little specular highlites. They're kind of hot/blown but at their small size, it's fine. Not even sure there's anything you could do with the intensity of them anyway. Beautiful.

This is a wonderful "water-pattern-color-abstract". Thr large version is so much stronger than the small one

Nancy, I agree the large version is worth the click. I really enjoyed looking at that. Very nice water abstract.

Fascinating, Nancy. Looks like honey or amber. Keep 'em coming!

Liquid gold is what I see. You must've had fun shooting this water. Love it.

Nancy,

Like Guy, I really enjoy your look in to the abstract world of these water reflections, highlights, colors and patters. I think you have quite a collection going. The sparkles in the larger version really, well, sparkle! I don't have any nits, but this and many of your other images would sure be fun to play with and try and perfect in Photoshop. Great stuff.
