Queenstown, New Zealand
An intimate interpretation of sunrise in an alpine lake at sunrise.
The large version is quite worthwhile opening for the details.

Holy Moly Kah Kit! This is great! IMO, this is one of your finest ever, and that's saying a lot! Tremendous work!

Magical, Kah. The right side is outanding and this will also work great if cropped at around the middle but also works as is.

I certainly wouldn't crop anything! Very beautiful image, don't quite understand what it is, or the angle, but that just adds to the abstract nature of it. Large version is stunning.

This is epic!
Seriously, what an crazy looking photograph. The long exposure combined with the rocks and reflecting light is amazing.
Favorite abstract hands down.

Stunning abstract Kah Kit! I love the mix of warm and cool colors as well as the variety of shapes, textures, and elements.

This looks amazing Kah Kit! What a unique image. It is a bit hard to figure initially what is actually shown, but thanks to your description I think I got it. But this image would make sense even without knowing what it is - if that makes sense.. I gotta try this at the coast this month.

Joining the chorus...what Bill said - Holey Moley! Original, dramatic, dynamic. Huge.

Stunning, Kah! I feel like I'm standing on the cliff's edge. Great colors.
and I like the inclusion of a diagonal line in your compositon. The mist
creates a special mood.

this is quite something Kah Kit! certainly one of your most creative shots (and like mentioned, it's saying a lot)
the larger version is worth opening up twice

Great abstract!! Love the colors, light, patterns and over sense of mystery in the image. Excellent work!

Very nice, Kah Kit. I like the molten appearance of the wet rocks and the warm/cool color combination. The large version does show wonderful clarity in the details.

Kah Kit,
Awesome! The color shift from warm to cool is wonderful and the mix between the reflected, shimmering details with the softer, misty look of the water is just perfect. Now I can figure out what this is, but have you thrown us for a loop? Did you rotate the camera and shoot this on a diagonal? OR is this a straight horizontal. That, has be baffled. I'm no worse for the wear though, this is wonderful and quite creative.

The contrast between the soft blues and the shiny oranges is fantastic! I'm not 100% sold on the composition, though. It feels somewhat right heavy, though I'm not sure how I would crop it to improve the balance (don't want to lose the soft blues and texture on the left..). Nice work!

What an image and your choice of title is simply fabulous! I love the 'reaction' at the top right strong point of the image!!

Wow, this is wild! It sucks you in with the cool textures and then your eye wanders over all of the beautiful forms and shapes and tries to comprehend it all- this is real art.

The sheen and glowing colors of the water on the rock make this one exceptional. Outstanding abstract. Almost primordial.

Lon, this is a straight horizontal. Aaron, the exposure was 4 seconds.

What an amazing abstract. Totally unrecognizable, as some have said before, but that's why I love it.
