Headwaters--Spinning

There was lots of color and flow in the stream bed here but it was the "wheel" spinning in the upper right that sold me on this comp. Is it too busy over-all? Critiques appreciated. Thanks for looking

Great image. I just love the vibrant colors in the rocks. A feast for the eyes. The ripples are great as well. I really like that red rock in the LRHC. The ripples make it look like a piece fo spiral cut ham. Enjoy every one of your water abstracts.

yeah it's busy, but in a cool Kadinsky kinda way! I'm such a sucker for these psychedelic subjects that this is an easy sell for me, i think this is one of my favs actually. Really reminds me of the intricacies of gemstones--maybe you could get a job shooting super big gems (and charge maybe 5K $ a carat or so...)

The abstract quality of this makes the busyness a non-issue. I like the sense of water here, but also the sense that there is no water in parts of the scene. A bit disconcerting, but in a nice way.

Nice assortment of color Nancy. Yes, the image is a bit busy, but it still works or me.

Love the pattern, Nancy, and the 'lightness' of the light which really brings out the crystal clarity of the water. Outstanding and a great addition to your series.

I really like this series you are doing, Nancy. Great colors. I like the varying textures in this particular image due to the different types/sizes of ripples and water flow, including the lower section of the image where it seems most of the water is ripple-free and flat, hardly distorting the rocky floor. I don't think its too busy at all. I hope you keep developing this series!

I read some of the comments Sandy, and "fascinating" was the predominant theme..
I second that emotion with two big thumbs up! :toast:
Very nice abstract work my friend :wavey:
