This is another very interesting rock image, Don. It’s got me thinking I’m seeing double and trying to make sense out of chaos. I like it.

[Don_Peters]

Thanks, Dennis. One reason I like abstracts is that, as viewers, we can’t process them on autopilot.

I like this one.
I think the double exposure (?) works very well here.
It sure have a “flow” spirit.

It does. I see the stream through the middle, though the chaos of the rocks. I could see a tad more drama to bring out the stream (if that is what the white area represents) - hold the lights and bring down the rest.

Joao, thanks. I’m glad it works for you.

Bonnie, I like your change and will make it in my own version. Thanks.
