Just sittin’ by the creek watching the water flow by when I noticed a great patch of red alder roots in the water. The sprightly sparkles on the water made for a nice touch.

I’m good with this, but any input welcome. I tried various rotations, but kept coming back to this one.

I like this one, Bonnie. It has lots of energy and the reds and purples in the corner come as a surprise. It’s very painterly.

Well-seen and captured! The colours and movement are captivating

I like the diagonal/triangular composition in this one, Bonnie, as well as the transition from cool blues to greens to warmer red/orange in the different parts of the image. I downloaded this one because I wanted to check how it looked rotated and I like it even more as a vertical rotated clockwise.

Like Dennis, I immediately felt a different orientation might be even more exciting. This was because I saw the flow coming from what is here the left side and this made me feel the water was going upstream a bit. Nothing wrong with that in an abstract, so it’s just personal! Great rich colors here, and overall it’s excellent.
