While strolling around Trout Lake in Yellowstone on a partly cloudy day, I was taken by the mix of reflections. For those of you old enough, I thought of titling this “don’t adjust your set”… as it feel quite dizzying.

I left in two “flaws” deliberately to give viewers a bit of a startle as their eyes roam the frame.
Pertinent Technical Details

This is a really mesmerizing picture. You feel lost in there between the different faces and eyes you can see, between the blues, white and black and all the swirling motion. Really great. I am wondering what are the two flaws you were referring too?
Mark: Sorry you chickened out on the title . I remember those patterns! So well seen here and a wonderful result without processing shenanigans. Well seen and superbly captured and presented. >=))>
I too can see the connection to the early days of TV… Remember too, we had to actually get up off the couch to change the channel and fix the rabbit ears… LOL!
This is a wonderful capture and wonderful natural abstract. Love the color combination, although it really comes across as a b&w, with some blue mixed in. The pattern is really quite mesmerizing and again, I see the connection to your reaction about adjusting your set… Very cool.
By the flaws, do you mean the little bubbles in the UL quadrant and far corner? I actually like the pimary one in the frame; while small it’s not really an anchor or focal point, but it certainly is a fun surprise to discover while meandering the frame. The bubble in the extreme corner? Personally I would crop or clone out. But of course, a minor point.
Beautiful Abstract image. Do Not Adjust Your Set. I remember those days. My Dad would have to put new tubes in every week so I could watch cartoons on Saturday. … I would not change a thing , I think it works great like it is.
This is fantastic! the abstract nature of it is just mesmerizing and could be stared at for hours. Very calming as well. I think all us old timers get the reference as we all have had to fiddle with the knobs to get the picture just right on a television.
Tamar, there are two small swirls in the upper left, that don’t fit the overall size pattern, those are what I’m calling “flaws”… As @Lon_Overacker suggests, I could see removing the one right in the corner, but that would be a challenge.
I don’t think they are such “flaws” though I see what you mean. Maybe you can darken a little the one right at the corner so it will have less visibility.
