Splash of Color

This weekend, I stopped by on my way home, to shoot this Koi pond at a fav vineyard of mine. I played around a lot with shutter speed, and I think I like this abstract effect the best. I'd love to hear all comments and suggestions.

Never would have guessed them to be fish at first glance, very creative idea that worked out to be a very cool image.

This is an excellent shot. I like it very much. It would be great if you have also a version where, together with the colors, one may understand what produced them (your vineyar, i.e.)

This is outstanding, the in focus splashes of water really finish it off perfectly. Very well done.

Thanks for the comments folks. I wasn't sure whether it was just me or not. You all know how we can be biased of our own work. It makes a neat desktop wallpaper actually. Its' wierd.

Super shot Rick. The thought of using a slow shutter speed on these guys churning around in the pond makes a special image for sure. Nice job, and congrats on EP pick here.
