(I'll think of a title at some point) I pretty much zeroed out the shadows in this image, pushing the contrast up but it felt right to me. I hope you will let me know if I went too far. Your comments are always appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Great abstract, wonderful colors, and I think the comp holds interest.

This is very well seen....abstract photography is my favorite and this certainly fits that category. Nice stuff! I think your processing works just here.

I've seen some shallow water reflection distortion images before, but never one quite so wild nice capture.

Wonderful abstract. Love the shapes of the 'cells' and the amazing array of color. Beautiful.

This series is so mind-bending, and this may be one of the best yet--almost looks like jewels, and such a great range of hues! I think the biggest challenge with these sort of abstracts is keeping them fresh; you haven't reached the point where the comps are starting to look 'the same' but i don't envy your task. One idea might be to really start mixing up the aspects--for example, in this case i really love a super long pano, cropping the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 here--that way you maintain all the essential subject here (since theyre lined up vertically) but you introduce something that's less traditional--like i could totally see a nice wall sized pano of this hanging above my favorite bar stool!

wow, this is pretty cool... I like how the vibrant green leaves in the center are slightly more recognizable / less abstract than the rest... the transparent lhs sort of counterbalances the more colourful rest of the image... very refreshing + unique!
