Moving Slow

Drought has slowed the mountain streams as springs dry up beneath the cloudless skies. Sunlight plays on the slow moving currents over multi-colored stones. That's my silver lining for recent weather. Hope it makes you smile, too. Critiques always welcome. Thanks for looking.

This is a lovely abstract with the colored rocks showing through nicely and the brightness from the ripples creating an abstract pattern.

Wonderful abstract qualities Nancy. I especially like the subdued colors.

Very pleasing abstraction. Sunlight ripples are a plus.

I think this is my favorite of you stream shots. The light is nice and the rocks and light patterns are easily seen.

Nice patterns and lines of light mixing well.

Absolutely lovely ripple patterns. Even though I really like looking at this, I get sort of an uneasy feeling, with my eye wandering around the image looking for an "anchor." However, I don't know enough about art to know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, having heard about the merits of visual tension and confusion. Now I wonder if I am tense or confused, but if I am I probably can't blame it on this lovely photograph.
