Stream Reflections

I like it for the impressionism. It is a nice effect; in my mind it needs an anchor of some kind, but that's me.

Beautiful color in the water. I am also enjoying this one with a kind of pano crop, just below the top wave. I find it emphasizes the color in the water and makes the comp a little more dynamic for me. Enjoyable abstract.

I really like these types of images and you got a nice one here. I think I would be tempted to bump up the contrast a bit to give it some pop.

Lovely colors Walt, and the shutter speed you chose captured both the flow as well as the action - nice choice. I think the image would benefit from a bit more contrast, and perhaps a crop off the top to simplify the scene.

I love these shots. Beautifully done!

Thank you all very much for all the comments and suggestions. I will work on them. What a great learning experience!

Walt,

Great job isolating the standing waves and reflected colors. Although I think it's easy to figure out what this is, it's still a nicely captured abstract of nature.

I would agree with the suggestions so far that center around some contrast and perhaps even to experiment with a crop - although the comp is very good as presented. Additionally, perhaps instead of contrast, I think there is room in this image for boosting the saturation. Not to the point of gaudy or unbelievable, but just for a touch of punch. Of course that's always a matter of personal taste and choice.

A very nice effect. Love the texture. Definitely try a contrast bump - at first glance it seems somewhat flat.
