I like the water and the flow, Don. That large uncovered rock anchoring the upper left tends to be an eye stopper for me.

Thanks for the comment, Dennis.

Don, the perspective here sure gives a different feeling for me overall. With that said, it sure fits the abstract intent here… :+1:

5

Thanks, Paul.

Hey Don – To me the upper left detail of rock and leaves intrudes on the abstract potential of the shot. Crop that out and you could do anything with this, including tilting it, to take advantage of the light and moving water elements.

James, you and Dennis both found that rock distracting so I’m convinced, but I can’t think of anything to do about it. Thanks for commenting.
