Cloudy days can bring out some nice patterns. On a shallow lake bed with some trees without leaves..Used a long lens to get some compression..

I like this. It is a very well seen and photographed abstract. I could see this hanging in a fine art studio.

I really like this reflection abstract, Balan.  Just enough subtle ripples to carry the water.  Nicely seen.

This is real nice. Getting very picky, I might be inclined to clean up the edges top right and right to give some empty framing space on those sides and match the edges on the left side. But like I said, very minor stuff. Fine work.

Looks great, Balan.  I like the mixture of stark simplicity of the trees across the middle and the added complexity of the bits along the top.

I find that on this kind of comp that Harley's suggestion works well. You could also crop to just of the left of the largest, darkest, branch. Still it is a very nice abstract as presented.

Well seen and captured, Balan. Very artisitic. I'll 2d (or is it 3d) Harley's excellent suggestion.

Lovely, graphic feel, like a chalk drawing.  Great use of the reflections.

Nice reflection, and the high key effect works very well. I like your inclusion of the small bush in the top left.

A really effective and beautiful abstract. The shimmering reflection is a nice touch. For some reason the bush in the top right corner is a little distracting.
