I have no idea who Sandra Bartocha is, but this is wildly abstract! This is definitely pushing the lines of abstract/photo art...but it is without a doubt, unique. I like it very much
Not sure if it's a dust spot or not, but there is a black dot in the image (upper center) that you may want to remove before offering it as a print?

Very interesting abstract Winnie. Like Nic I think it is quite unique and I like it too! I love the light and color in the lower right and interesting lines.

Super Just love the way this makes me think about Nature and nature photography in a whole new way. I actually think it takes a much better eye to come up with a comp like this than it does traditional landscape images.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. This is not one that everyone will appreciate, I accept that.
This is virtually straight out of camera, so although it borders on "photo art", whatever that means, it is just a straight shot. Thanks for pointing out the black spot Nicolaus, I need to move it.
It was an overcast day and drizzling with rain at Lake Matheson, and I was not feeling that I would obtain classic shot with lake and mountain reflection. In fact the mountain was obscured today. This shot is looking down at the water at the colorful reeds, which seemed more vibrant with the rain (saturation not adjusted). The black crisscross-crossing shadows rare shadows of the blades of grass/reeds growing in the lake. You can see some motion on the water because of the rain drops breaking the surface of the water. I hope you can appreciate the interplay of tension and tranquility in this scene. I'm happy the conditions forced me to think outside the box.

Winnie,
Edgy and a little mind blowing. Hard to believe it's a straight out the camera shot but I know it is. Just so well done and thanks for the info on what it is and how the elements came together. Very original and very creative.
