This catches the colors of this pool very well, Sandy, with a fine balance between the warm orange and the bottom and the cool turquoise at the top.

Good use of color to catch the diagonals.  The shapes and textures work very well here and you did a good job not to over saturate the brilliant colors in this thermal pool.

Gorgeous detail and colors in this, Sandy, and an excellent use of diagonals in the composition.

Wonderful colors and obvious diagonals here, Sandy. Hard to get any scale here without seeing your 62mm focal length listed....good job.

Nice composition.  The transition from warm to cool tones is appealing.  This is similar to what I often strive for in a microcosm.  Personally, I probably would have framed this more diagonally from corner to corner.  But that's just personal style.  Well done.
