Reflections on Water

This image is for the WC water.

We can look at water in so many different ways. I most often look at the ability of water to reflect over head things , man made or narural, such that the reflections exhibits some abstract. This is a reflection of a over head foot bridge. The left half reflects the concrete pillar and the right half reflects the water on the other side of the bridge and foot bridge across, thats painted red.
A nice place for the cormorant to dry out too in the late evening sun that added some red n yellow to the entire scene.

Nice eye to spot this image.  I like the reflected colors.  I do wish the cormorant had both wings extended.  Thanks for sharing.

This is a unique and interesting image, and I love the colors. The cormorant is also in an unusual pose and I like the way it seems to be looking at the beautiful reflections.
The only problem I have with it is the bright rock in the lower left corner. I might crop it  just above that rock, or content aware fill, or something to get rid of it. Even darkening it would help keep the eye from going there.

Lovely blocky colors and I love the interfaces between them, Balan.  A beautiful image.

Balan, the reflections look great, especially the blue and orange areas.  The cormorant and the bits of plant grown add a fine touch of reality.

The bird is an added extra "nice" in this image. I would like it with or without. The water becomes an abstract with the colors and lines. This is an example of a simple thing like water be changed so beautifully with the correct light and amazing eye of the photographer. GREAT image all around.
