Probably my imagination but I'm pretty sure there's an alien on the right side.

Larger version offered. Thanks for looking

It looks like stained glass. I like the pretty colors and texture of this interesting photo.

I am a big fan of abstracts, and this one is excellent. Fascinating image.

These shots look easier than they are to capture and so I think you did a great job here.

I see an alien in the LRC too. Must be the Halloween effect. Really like the light and colors here here.

Another nice reflected fall abstract. Lots of interesting stuff for the eye to play with. It does seem to have a bit of luminosity noise; might be worth running through something like Neat Image.

Beautifully composed. Lots to draw my eye around the whole image. I agree that on the larger version the noise sort of jumps out at me, but I bet something like Neat Image would fix that.

Definitely alien. This is a great grouping of shape and color. Very interesting, Nancy.

I see two aliens. One in the lower right and one lower center. Wonderful abstract Nancy.

I really like this. Great colors and shapes. I might boost brighhtness a bit to give it more punch. Lovely abstract, alien and all.

Aren't these fun to capture and process. Such a short season for them. Great job. Very timely for the aliens....

Great collection of colors and shapes, including the alien with the big green eyeball. Excellent vision and capture.

Nancy Lea,

Outstanding! Perhaps your best water abstract? This is just wonderful. I too see the alien and I also see the alien has a companion to it's left, and it's a gremlin!.

I don't know how you find this stuff, but you've got yourself a nice little niche - keep looking and finding these, I love 'em.

Lon

Very cool abstract image Nancy. I definitely see the alien on the right. I like the stained glass look you captured here.
