Headwaters--Scorpio

I'm hoping to get some opinions on this but sometimes, color just needs to be saturated. I increased contrast, too, but I think it is still the currents and flow that draw me to this composition. Critiques are always useful. Thanks for looking.

Another wonderful abstract. I just get caught in all of the shapes and the color sat. looks perfect. I don't think you can go wrong with playing around with those 2 variables with an image like this. Nature can play some crazy tricks on us - you've rendered this one very well.

Nancy: Just terrific. The larger version is especially compelling.

This one is fantastic, Nancy. The incredible hues and tones along with the pattern and forms of the water, all held together with just enough design and flow to make a stunning abstract. To me, this is your best in this series. Excellent work.

Beautiful colors and patterns in this. I like this one even better than the one you posted last week. The colors are very pleasing, kind of jewel-like and wonderful for a fall post.

Very nice capture for me, Sandy! I really love those golden tones and your composition is very appealing.

The differences in these are subtle, but this is one of my favorites.

What a wonderful collection of colored shapes and interesting lines. I especially like the scattered bits of green and blue at the top.

Reminds me of a beautiful stained glass window. Nice, very nice.

Fantastic addition to your growing Headwater's collection. I don't know how you keep coming up with these!

If it were me, I would drop the blacks just a tad to really make this one pop.

"Bejeweled" comes to mind. I love this stuff!
