This is such a beautiful image. It has such a peaceful, dreamy look to it. If you stare at this long enough you feel all of your tensions leaving your body, leaving you in a state of bliss. It's due to the gentle colors and a 'vague' texture. I like this as is, without saturating or desaturating anything.

gentle and peaceful- like sitting in a canoe, floating along, and staring at just the water.

This is a fine, gentle, calmly inviting abstract, Danny.

Danny, I have been admiring this image for a few days, but this is my first opportunity to comment.  I like the alternating light and dark as well as the subtle texture.  The simplicity of the scene works nicely.  I would never have guessed that you moved the camera, but it works well and creates an impressionist feel to the image which works well.

Wonderful abstract Danny.  I love the soft pastel color and rhythm of the water.

I'm a fan of abstracts, and I like this one a lot. Lovely gentle light, motion and interesting colors. There is an inviting softness to the image.

Danny, This is very nicely done and the horizontal movement worked out great. This has a wonderfully dreamy and peaceful mood with beautiful soft colors. Really nice!
