According to Wikipedia, the term op art was coined by Time Magazine in 1964 – Bridget Riley was a notable proponent with her black and white pictures. It seems that Mother Nature was the true originator, predating the op art movement by a few thousand years!

Darn artists always ripping off momma nature that way.  A very nice image, David, and I do like those plumage patterns.

Love the detail on this portrait!  The concentric rings around the Gadwall are a plus.  I had no idea that Lake Geneva was so clear.
