A look at the wake from Mike Ramy's boat last spring in Florida.  (7D2, 70-200 f2.8 @ 175mm, f/18, 1/500s, iso 800 [camera set up for birds in flight but liked the dof here]).

A very interesting, if some what mysterious image!  Thanks for sharing.

A lovely water abstract, Mark.  I like the way the repeated patterns curve through the image.

Great image!  I like the way the blue "pools" lead the eye through the image in a diagonal pattern from bottom left to upper right.  Great catch!

This is really cool Mark. First impression made me think of an assembly line of automobile fenders or jet engines on airplanes here. I love the repeating torpedo shapes. Way to see something different and share it.

Terrific abstract!  one possible idea, if you're game to "frame" the scene differently ...  crop the bottom two pools out.  This makes the bottom "pool" a complete oval, makes it a pano, and puts almost the same amount of green at top left as at the bottom right.  very balanced....

Cool, interesting abstract, Mark. All water abstracts are unique, but the ovals make this abstract very unique.
