Natural Fractalius

The light reflecting on the water created what I thought looked like a natural fractalius effect. This is actually to the side of the intended subject (dragonfly and damselflies) in the original image. The only adjustments made to the image were cropping and default NoiseNinja sharpening and noise reduction.

Unique and interesting reflection image, Paul! I like the unusual reflection patterns on the ripples. Makes for a great abstract. Hmm. . . curious how this would look rotated 180 degrees with the clearer reflections at the bottom fading into larger diffused reflections at the top? Great as is but might be fun to try. :smile:

Very interesting abstract, nicely seen. I'd think a modest increase in contrast in the bright section around the lower right 1/3 point would improve the balance. This would also make an interesting texture background for a composite.
