Bill,
This one is pretty cool. Nice colors and squiggly highlights make this image a nice piece of eye candy. Large view is crisp, detailed and awesome........................Jim

This turned out very nice, Bill. The thumbnail doesn't give you a clue as to how impressive this is. The water diffraction over these colorful rocks make it look like a collection of jewels. It's like out of some story of the Arabian Nights where the thieves open a chest a find it full of sparkling jewels. I particularly like the emeralds in the low center left. I like the composition but could see one of a square that includes all of the left.

This is nice abstract, Bill. There are some nice diagonals created by the darker areas that add to the wonderful color patterns. Nicely done!

What a cool water abstract, Bill. The shapes, color and light are all just amazing. Thumbnail doesn't do this one justice.

Well seen and even better captured, Bill. Being a big fan of natural abstracts, I like this a lot. Makes me want to go to GNP just tp try to get something like this. I will definately keep this one in mind if I ever get out there.

Who needs Photoshop to make an artsy looking picture. This is absolutely stunning!

Bill, I agree with others about the thumbnail not doing it justice, passed it up a few times, but now I'm glad I opened it. It's an excellent abstract, and good choice on your part to use a CPL and faster shutter speed. Would be interesting to experiment with color balance and saturation.

Bill,
Mosaic? Ha, how about this image defining the term! This is terrific! I'm really enjoying the mosaic, tiles and patterns, but just as much are the emerald colors throughout.
You could carve this up any number of ways for some equally compelling alternatives. But this is most enjoyable as presented.

I missed this post, Bill... The colors and shapes, especially as distorted by the water are wonderful. It's a spectacular abstract, that's much better viewed large. As an "interesting aside", in the 720 px version, I was thinking that cropping from the right to 4x5 would look good, but when I look at the larger version, the entire view hangs together beautifully.

Lines, proportions, colours, it all fits together perfectly. The right amount of movement in the water. Simply beautiful!

This is absolutely fabulous, Bill. The clarity of the water, the shutterspeed freezing motion, the colors like cut glass. Everything about this is great.
