Beautiful abstract art. The reflected colors are just gorgeous and the grasses and lily pads provide wonderful contrast. This is very minor but I would suggest to clone out the lilies right along the top right frame edge.

I really like this photo, love the way the reeds break up the color, very peaceful. This is printable!

Love the reflected light and colors, Michael. I like especially the little branches emerging from the ice. Well seen.

I like the composition with the band of floating leaves about one third from the top in the 'field' of irregularly placed twigs and the red spot at roughly one third from the left. The sharpness of the twigs nicely contrasts the vagueness of the coloured shapes. Beautiful colour palette. The size is well chosen, lots of twigs but still individually recognisable. Like it very much.

Michael: this is an excellent abstract. It could easily pass as a painting done in pastels. Congrats! Richard

Michael,
Impressionistically gorgeous (is that a word?) ;-) The only major criticism I have of this image is that it's not mine.
Tiny cleanup suggestions. There's a small cluster of blue reflections near the URC. I'd clone that. Then, maybe just take a little border patrol around the edges (super picky at this point,) there's a blue spec in the LRC. Did I say super picky?
Can't get enough of this one Michael.

This is really cool! I like the contrast of the impressionist look of the reflection and the sharply rendered grasses. Of course that color steals the show. Nicely done!

I have seen a few of this wonderful wee pond now and this is a beautiful rainbow of softly diffused colour not too dissimilar to a Monet.

Really nice abstract with the reality of pads and reeds. I could see darkening the bottom portions of the image to match the tones of the top - I may be reaching though

This is special, Michael. Love the reflected colors and the grasses breaking them up. Outstanding.

The bit of whatever sticking up make this impressionistic view special, Michael. The reflected color are great, but those bit of pond weeds and the scattered lily pads have me grinning.

Sweet image, Mike. This would make a great companion piece with your other two Tarn posts. The arrangement of colors reminds me of a Monet painting. My only suggestion; and this is being super picky; would be to clone out those lily pads along the top edge as they catch my eye just a tiny bit and take me from all those gorgeous colors.
