### Description

Another image of reflections and currents in a small stream. What else can I say?! I find it so easy to get lost in making these kinds of images, especially when standing in the water, and, certainly lost while viewing them.

### Specific Feedback

any and all

### Technical Details

Sony a6000, 210mm, 1/400, f/6.3, ISO400, with adjustments to tone curves and reduction in clarity in LR

Reflections can be so fascinating! I love the colour palette here and the myriad brilliant shapes to lose myself in. It’s very difficult to make a chaotic composition and you’ve done it quite well. The only thing I might do is to add a vignette, so that I don’t get so lost I wander out of the frame. Mesmerizing!

Wonderful. reflection image! This is exactly the type of scene that I can lose myself in! Hypnotic. The only thing I might try out (and that’s just me) is to maybe tone down the purples a bit, or try to shift the hue a little towards the blue. But it’s a wonderful image, so just ignore me, if you are happy with it 😉 .
