VERY cool, Mary Anne! I like this BOTH as a horizontal and, a vertical format.
The colors work quite well together and shooting through the glass really gives your image an artistic / painted feel. Thanks for sharing this, one of my favs from the challenge so far. Markjay

Mary Anne, I like this a lot. It has an impressionist painting look. /Oved

Great design and texture! At first, I thought it was a water reflection but it's prettier since it has such nice sharp edges and pleasing color. shu

Well, I'm glad you folks like it. The table is on the deck, not quite poolside, and the pool has not yet been opened (not warm enough here). What you see is the frame of the table and and a chair with plastic webbing, where some of the white plastic has yellowed with age. The deeper blue in the upper right corner is a kneeling pad left from working in the garden. All very prosaic...I was amazed by the effect that tabletop glass gives. I just looked down and shot what was there.

Super one Mary Anne! You are one to watch out for in this challenge!

No filters, huh? Nevertheless I think the Adobe people will be contacting you to buy the rights to this very effective filter effect.

Excellent, very effective, something I would be happy to have hanging on my wall! :)

I see something at the top left. Are we poolside? -COAmature

Good one Mary Anne! I wish the white arm on the right wasn't there as it is a bit distracting, but still a nice abstract! CJ
