Splash of Color
While driving home this weekend, I stopped by one of my favorite vineyards and shot these guys again. It had been 2 years since I last fed these guys. I thought I'd go for some artsy stuff and see what some long exposures would do here.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. I like this, but what do you think?

Thanks guys...it was fun shooting. I'll probably print it just to see people's reactions. Here's one that I call the "Khoir"

Sweet idea and a very abstract image, Rick. Looks like they were very hungry.

Erik,
This image was taken this last weekend. The image you are thinking about was taken 2 years ago. It was more like the second one I posted.

Rick,
I realize that. I should have be a little more specific.

Rick, this is very cool. Great thinking, Koi food. Now you got one more thing to carry in your camera bag.

Really cool idea, Rick! Except for a little glare on the water, I would've sworn it was a painting.
