Hey Rick,
The larger version is a must see to truly appreciate the mesmerizing graphic designs in this Golden - Sun Rise water and the Egret is a nice touch.
Nice post for this WC . . . :toast:

I like this , Rick. As Mike mentioned the large view really carries a lot of impact. Love the gold hues and the freckled top. Very interesting.

The egret, the splash, the color, and all the "figure" in the water at the top make a very interesting image. Given that there's so little happening at the bottom, I could see a crop off the bottom and maybe a bit from the left as an alternative view.

Like the 'mood' lighting here Rick, it enhances the solitary/lonely message/theme..
This abstract would not work without the large concentric ripples, they hold your attention & interest.
Well done!:toast:

Both graphic and artistic, Rick. The egret (heron?) is very sharp and stands out well, and the bg is interesting because of the color, ripples, and speckles.
