One of my favorites in my abstracts collection. I shot this in 2012 while flying somewhere over the American southwest. I was relieved the window was reasonably clear and there were no clouds.

Is this a composite: No
Handheld from the window seat
Processed in Lr for clarity, contrast, the crop and a bit of color or white balance management I imagine. Sharpening & nr also.
Yes, a snake came to mind at once! I think it’s a very commendable abstract and the square format emphasizes the curvature pushed back on itself. I love the colors but wonder about a bit less saturation in the LL.
I also thought this was very much snakelike. Really nice color and superb southwestern geology. I’d be very curious to know where this river or stream was located.
A wonderfully seen abstract. The snake theory fits well! I think another version of this could work with a little less saturation in the left bottom corner, like Diane has mentioned.
The river really stands out here, Kris, with the sandbars a fine extra bit in the river. How nice that you had reasonably clear airplane windows. That’s gotten to be rare.
