What an interesting collection of diverse elements and colors. I like the diagonal comp. Altogether it's kind of a startling "Wow!" shot, with an abstract "What's that?" feel.

I like your comp, the great collections of colors, and the abstract sense created by the close view. It's a neat alternative view of an often visited location. My initial reaction was that the blue in the water was too saturated, but the longer I look the better I like it as presented.

What a wonderful comp of colorful, diverse, and interesting elements! Nice diagonal lines of color with some good contrasting vertical reflections. Great image to study for a bit. . . My one thought would be a slight crop down from the top. IMO that would help the viewer to focus more on the stunning water rather than getting lost a bit in all the grass at the top. Very nice and creative find, Jim. :smile:

An interesting brain teaser, Jim! I like the similarity of the underwater rock and the cliff reflection. The cyan seems to be disproportionally strong, otherwise I love it.

A really nice combination of textures and colors here. Like the diagonal composition of the water also. Really encourages a close study!
