Image Description
I see stormy waters and land in the distance. I didn’t see that originally but as soon as I tried black and white I did. The muse told me the photo ought to be blue.
Don, I had the same impression as @Alfredo_Mora , perhaps even with a road or path in the foreground. Personally, I often prefer cooler images rather than the warm tones favored by so many. I really like the aesthetic in this one. Nice job!
Thanks for commenting, Ron. In this case, what I saw was a storm-tossed sea with land ahead in the distance. Storms are shadowy and cool and I took the color in that direction.
Unlike Dennis, I didn’t see this one as gloomy. I can easily see why people might. Abstracts leave room for viewers to complete an image in their minds. My own way of completing this image isn’t correct; it’s just mine.
Not my very first impression, but my recent impression… a precursor, design ideas for Tesla’s Cybertruck… you’ve all seen it… The colors, shapes and angles in the upper part of the image… just triggerred the imagination… LOL
Actually though, my first impression was that of an abstract landscape with either a road, riverbed, shoreline at the bottom, meeting up with the foothills and then the towering peaks… all in an abstract fog or storm. Very cool!
The color/hues are wonderful and I think better interpretation that b&w would be.

hope I didn’t ruin it with the Tesla reference… one of those things that you might not “unsee”?
Lon, I’m afraid the Tesla reference is lost on me. I’m about a century behind the times and I almost never watch commercial TV. But I’m getting the rest of your reaction clearly.
