This gets a yay from me - love the differing shades of green and the delicate stems. The stems reflecting off the water add definitely. Great job. jano

I have to say more about this one. A photographer who's name I forget did a series he called "Intimate Landscapes". This would have fit in very well. Really outstanding, especially given the circumstances. Rod is right about not looking busy... the lines and patterns are repetitive with variations which keep them from becoming either visually boring or mentally baffling. -tv

Thanks Rod and Tom! This was taken from a pontoon boat and it was a bit of a challenge trying to get a decent shot while bouncing around on the lake! CJ

This is very must to my taste, Carole. The lines and derived patterns vacillate as you watch. I'm enjoying the shades of green too. -tv

Luv the look of this shot, its funny it doesn't look busy to me at all as it has a nice calming affect. Well done megirl:-)

Thanks for commenting Murph! I was definitely going for "natural abstract" and while I tried a B&W version, I liked the shades of green better than shades of gray. CJ

CJ-

I am undecided about this shot. I like the abstract feeling of it, but I dont know how I feel about the uniform color and busyness. One thing I will say, is that if your goal was to have people stare at it delicately for five minutes while they decide what they think, you certainly met that goal with me.
