Thanks for your comments on my previous post.

This is an abstract from New Caledonia’s lagoon. The shapes somewhat remind me of a world map or what it may have looked like millions of years ago before the continents started to shift (or ocean patches dried out) …

The colours here really suffered with greens and blues from the RAW file losing intensity when converting to sRGB

My original post is a bit soft... please also see sharpened version below

That's just amazing. I love the colors and the comp is awesome. Was this from a helicopter?

Navin, thanks for your comment. This was taken from a microlight.

Very interesting. The scene is quite compelling and the color looks pretty nice to me.

Fantastic patterns Karsten. Wishing it was a little sharper but that is a minor concern.

New Caledonia huh? I've never seen an image from there before. This looks fantastic! Great color, comp and shapes.

This is very nice - lovely color with interesting textures and lines throughout the frame.

Eva, thanks for pointing out the lack of sharpness. It is indeed a bit soft, I must have spent too long in front of the PC...

here is a quick-fix-sharpened version

Stunning. Love the colors. Don't know what they looked like previously, but they're still very much awesome. This combined with the composition and shapes make for a great image.
