White Rocks

Usually, my water abstracts feature a very small area of the stream but this time I pulled back a little to showcase the many conflicting currents in this section of the stream. Too busy?

I don't think it's too busy for me at all. I love the micro currents and the color combination. Nice :toast:

The multitude of ripple highlights and those two large white rocks hold this together nicely as an abstract. The hot spot on the rock touching the frame at bottom center is a modest distraction. Toning it down would help the balance.

I like the energy in this Nancy and while I prefer the more abstract quality of the prior image, I still like this. I also think Mark's suggestion about darkening the rock at the bottom would help the comp.

Another fine water image. The play of light in the water and on the rocks is what makes the image for me.

Another nice abstract Nancy with nice tones and textures in it. I agree to toning down the bottom rock as it pulls
the eye a bit. Good eye as usual.

This is another very nice water abstract! The patterns really are quite amazing and the colors are wonderful. I too go along with Mark's suggestion on toning down the bottom rock. :smile:

I too like the "multitude of ripple highlights' as Mark states, not too busy for me Sandy.
Just would like to see it large to say any more than this..
Well done, I do like it as posted :toast:
