Hmm, I like the concept a lot. To me, the darkeness of the twigs overpowers the effect.

Hey I'm liking this one just fine Darren!!! I find the slight colors on the twigs very appealing along with the great OOF stream in the background!!! Well seen and well executed Darren!!

I love the simplicity and gracefull strength of the composition. I love images that just give hints to the larger scene and remove everything but the essential elements. The dark and light areas in the smooth water add mood and depth without introducing any distractions. Thumbs up from me...I'd hang this in my house.

I like it as well Darren. You gotta clean off those dust bunnies though. My eyes are picking out at least 3 of the little suckers.

I really dig it. The light dark contrast on the twigs is awesome compared with the soft contrast on the water. Really cool hard/soft juxtoposition everywhere and in many ways. Cool, the cloner will eliminate the dust no problem

Great contrasts, Darren. The slight textures in the water really make it for me.
