Hi Gill… I’m immediately drawn to this image. Very interesting patterns. I thought it might be interesting to crop off the small portion of the top that’s not very rippled. Then it occurred to me that it might be interesting to rotate it 90 deg and 180 deg.
To me the result is striking (in a good way). It’s amazing how much changing the orientation immediately changes the effect as different patterns emerge. Perhaps its because, especially for the version rotated 90 deg, the patterns are less immediately recognizable as ripples in water. I guess you could say it becomes more abstract when rotated, at least on its side. In any case, I think its a great image!
Very cool, and well done!! I love the tonal distribution, with enough mids to balance the darks and lights. There is a good distribution of detail size and lovely shapes and flow. Very interesting the sub-frames that can be pulled out . I do like eliminating the top to make it even more abstract. Well done! Keep playing!!
Thanks for showing interest in this image. I knew exactly how it would look when I shot it. I’m getting better at that. Maybe my vision ideas are improving.
