Flowing Colors

Thank you as always for your comment. I appreciate a lot.
I am fascinated by the flowing water. Three different colors at the bottom of the lake (leaves, "sand", and algae) drew my attention. Little branches to have something to hold onto. Your thoughts and comments are very welcome.

The sharp grasses in the midst of the various water areas brings some reality to the abstractness of the image. Interesting color mix. That is some algae growth. Thought it might have been glacial. Nicely presented.

I like the color banding, making it nicely abstract. I am finding the OOF (hard to say if DofF or water flow) in the foreground is throwing me off, though. I find my attention locking down there.

Great layering, and an interesting color combination. The movement of the grass during the exposure is less appealing than if they had not been moving, at least to my eye.

I love the bands of color here, Mattia. Like Harley, the out of focus foreground keeps sucking me in.

Mattia,

The large version helps, but honestly the bottom layer isn't working for me. I get the layers of colors and I even like the little sticks poking through for the place to rest the eye. It's just the bottom either is blurry, noisy or just not working.

I do like and appreciate the simplicity in what you saw.

Mattia, I like the idea here. The two bottom layers are not really working for me. I suggest a pano crop to just below the nearest bit of grass.

Very unique capture. I find both the vertical layers and colors very pleasing. The sharp grass provides a nice focal point. Well seen.
