Pads and Poles
Just fiddling with some abstract stuff while at the pond with my neice and nephew Sunday.

Curious as to your opinions compositionally and conversion wise.

Interesting shot, I like dynamics of the reflections. Well done. :toast:

Slightly busy but, I like it nonetheless. It would have been nice if the leading pad was in better condition but, you take what you get (ytwyg?). You have a great eye for composing scenes Mike. I think this is well done.

Very creative, Mike - the three elements that draw my eye are the lily bud in the upper left, the foremost pad in dead center and the curved stem/leaf that swings into the foreground, but all three tug at one another. Cropping out the top to leave the blossom out might help.
