The way the ripples move through the frame is really cool, Sandy. I like this as presented, but could see a lot of compositions using just parts of this as well.

Good work, Sandy. The complementary colors work well. I like the way the diagonal “squiggles” are set off by the vertical reflections at the top.

If I were to change anything, it would probably be to lower the highlights in the top center just a hair. But that’s a matter of taste and I’m not sure I’m right.

This is very nice Sandy.
Nice and simple.

What a beauty Sandy! I agree with Dannis, there are more then one abstract photo in your image, for example cutting a part and enlarging it could be beautiful for me.

So nice. I love reflections in water. This is a wonderful, intriguing abstract image. The complementary colors are great.

Congrats on the beautiful EP Sandy. The shapes and colors in this are great.

I like this Sandy. I also agree with Dennis about finding other abstract compositions within the scene. Very cool!
